Roller Coaster Love Bandits

We are roller coaster love bandits
Ravenous for the next high...utterly famished
One minute falling deep into love
The next minute we're searching for a landing
I've had quite enough
Enough to know that we can't manage
That falling in and out of love
Should be a sign not a habit
And I apologize for the common sense that I was lacking
For all of the times that I left and then decided to come back in
All the promises we made to forget all that happened
Said this was our thing
Mistook your fury for passion
So desperate that for them straws baby I was grasping
You lit a fire in me
Past tense . . . now it's ashes
I hear your accusations
I'm a bastard
Sarcastic
But you don't see
That my retreat
Is a defense from hazards
Your words are flame tipped daggers
Aimed at my heart in un-intimidated passion
There is no Jasmine
Not even Aladdin
No magic carpet exists to fly me from this madness
Experience has taught me to temper my reaction
A display of restraint used to cover up the sadness
With a wound this deep, it's barely a bandage
Am I insensitive
Or are you misunderstanding?
I feel the anguish you feel. I just can't stand it
I say it's over to heal
Not to damage
