The Call Back Rule

It’s tough to be in love
When the going gets rough
And it’s hard to keep your head
When you’re wishing she were dead
It’s hard to take it in
When you never seem to win
And it’s hard to stand straight up
When she’s not there as a crutch

And I don’t know how to say it
And I can’t stay here and fake it
You drive me crazy

It’s been almost a year
And I have not a fear
But it’s tough to show constraint
When you bug me every day
I love you when you’re mad
You’re the best I’ve ever had
You’re the last I ever will
Even if you’re a pill

And I don’t know how to say it
And I can’t stay here and fake it
You drive me crazy

I stay up every night
Remembering our fight
And it’s enough to go to sleep
When you’re trying not to weep
I’m hanging up the phone
I’m in my room alone
And this time I won’t call back
But my heart’s under attack

And I don’t know how to say it
And I can’t stay here and fake it
You drive me crazy

love is complicated..

love is complicated..

yeah, but worth it

I like the lyrics, but the flow could be a bit better.
No offense of course =] Every good poem needs judgement.

It sounds a little forced in some areas, but I like what u had to say

I agree. A few places were quite forced as well, especially
'You’re the last I ever will
Even if you’re a pill'.

It actually reminded me a little of Sum 41. I'm not too sure why. But I could imagine Deryck Whibley singing it as I was reading it. That's a compliment.

I liked 'And this time I won’t call back
But my heart’s under attack'.

And the whole idea was pretty good, too.
