Something Like Love

Of Your Own Making

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished 4 months ago • Updated 4 months ago • 2 min read

It's getting cold in here, I can tell, can you feel it

my head in the clouds and my heart on the wheel

Look ma, I made it, because I don't quit

both hands in the air, always chasing the thrill

I cut off all the sleeves in an attempt to save my feelings

whatever name you call, yeah, I've heard them before

I'll fix my lipstick in the mirror on your ceiling

followed with an X, because I'm keeping score

**

You don't know about the steps I take

the paths I made, when I was left alone

You thought I'd drown in a pool of mistakes

but now this emptiness has morphed into a throne

Bow to my love, I'll have you begging for more

there's no need pretending what you came here for

Love's a battlefield and I'm declaring war

I'll be the only one that you hate to adore

**

It's getting cold in here, I can tell, can you feel it

my head in the clouds and my heart on the wheel

Look ma, I made it, because I don't quit

both hands in the air, always chasing the thrill

I cut off all the sleeves in an attempt to save my feelings

whatever name you call, yeah, I've heard them before

I'll fix my lipstick in the mirror on your ceiling

followed with an X baby, because I'm keeping score

**

I am the shadows that you're hiding in

your one desire, an original sin

The every thought behind that devil's grin

the door is open, baby come on in

I'll be the one that you've been looking for

just sign your name upon the dotted line

The perfect stop for this revolving door

another step and baby you're all mine

**

I am the doll that you created

the mess you left on the floor

I am the darkness, infiltrated

your love with an underscore__*

So don't you run away now

baby we're just getting started

These scars, my solemn vow

that we will never be parted

**

It's getting cold in here, I can tell, can you feel it

my head in the clouds and my heart on the wheel

Look ma, I made it, because I don't quit

both hands in the air, always chasing the thrill

I cut off all the sleeves in an attempt to save my feelings

whatever name you call, yeah, I've heard them before

I'll fix my lipstick in the mirror on your ceiling

followed with an X baby, because I'm keeping score
