train wreck

Love, you’re like a train wreck
And I knew
I knew I should’ve never
Stepped aboard
Love, you’re like a train wreck
And the odds of survival
Are slim
I should exit while I can
First instincts always win
But at the door, I pause
I want to believe you
I want to believe the tracks
Do not end
But my defense mechanism
Has been activated
And now my heart is scared
And unsure
Perhaps if I detach myself
From all that you mean
Perhaps if I convince myself
You never meant anything
You said
But I know your truth . . . I know
You did
Love, you’re like a train wreck
And I don’t know
If I can stay aboard
