All These Engagements The Airborne Toxic Event

[Verse 1]
They say it’s so much better to have loved and lost
Than to have lived in a bubble, never knowing the cost
Of a broken heart like a loaded gun, it scares everyone
Everyone, everyone

[Verse 2]
Everyone tells me the same thing every day
“You’re wasting your time, just wasting away
There’s a hole in your heart, just go fill it with love”
But what is love? What is love? What is love?

[Verse 3]
What is this thing I’ve been told since thirteen-years-old
Where you feel understood, undeniably good?
It’s a stain on your sneaker, a hole in your speaker
A feeling apart when you’ve emptied your heart

[Pre-Chorus]
She’s at the upstairs windowpane
As the young boy cries in the rain
She’ll never know the power she wields
As the thunder falls on his ears
And he tells himself, “Never again”

[Verse 4]
All these engagements and lover’s spit
As they grasp at a future and promise it
Will be joyful and fruitful, “We’re better as two”
And I cried too, I cried too, I cried too
