Prewired to Sabotage

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

I've got a couple screws loose

(maybe more than a couple).

 

My brain synapses don't always

fire the way they should.

 

I'm prewired to sabotage

every intimate relationship.

 

So please forgive me when 

I attempt to steer you away.

 

Please understand that I don't

do it because of who you are.

 

I'm just predisposed to ruin

any good thing in my life.

 

Maybe it's because I don't

think that I deserve love.

 

I also replay each heartbreak 

I've experienced too often. 

 

I'm sorry for my flaws but

know that I still love you.
