Drowning Cupid

Drowning Cupid

Verse 1

I don't need love

No no no no no

I do not need love

What it gave to me was deep sadness

I don't want kisses

No no no no no

I do not want kisses

It will lead to falling for someone

Just leave me to myself

Yes yes yes yes yes

Being alone is nothing new to me

They'll be no confessions of hearts skipping beats

And no places for lovers to meet

What I do won't be found out by anyone 

Verse 2

I don't need love

No no no no no

I do not want to experience emotional turmoil again

I don't want sweet nothings

No no no no no

I do not want sweet nothings to be whispered into my ears

To each his own

Yes yes yes yes yes

That is what I believe

I refuse to live by any other standard

Souls uniting are just fantasies

Hoping that it'll happen makes you naive

I made a promise not to let myself down

Verse 3

My sense of self was manipulated

Who I tried to be 

Was weaker than who I was

My self-respect shrivelled up like burning paper

Slowly I regained strength

I knew that battling forces beyond my control

Would be arduous and time consuming

Reclaiming what's left of me begins with drowning cupid

This will be my sweet victory

Chorus

I'm drowning cupid

He won't fly

He will no longer shout his harts at me

I'm drowning cupid

He'll be gone

Then I will have peace of mind

Drowning cupid is the only way for me to live
