"Narratives" lyrics

I've been waiting for a triumphant return
But now I'm realizing the bridges that I've burned
Pretentious monologues and lack of all concern
For anyone besides myself, the introvert

I know that I tend to be selfish, sometimes
But you are so fine I think I'm changing my mind
It's been awhile since someone's made me smile
So if you're inclined, I could live by your side

But I know I get caught up in narratives
That I craft when my reality's looking negative

I didn't mean to come off distant or rude
I was just intimidated by you
Your strong opinions and your stick and poke tattoos
And empathetic heart cause empathy is cool

I know that I tend to be selfish sometimes
But you are so fine I think I'm changing my mind
It's been awhile since someone's made me smile
So if you're inclined, I could live by your side

I know I get caught up in narratives
That I craft when my reality's looking negative

You probably didn't realize it was anything
But I fell for you when I first heard you sing
Forgot all about my self-centered mood swings
Just dreams of duets sung in perfect harmony

I know that I tend to be selfish, sometimes
But you are so fine I think I'm changing my mind
It's been awhile since someone's made me smile
So if you're inclined, I could live by your side

I know that I get caught up in narratives
That I craft when my reality's looking negative
