Aaron Bentley: Masochist at Heart

Lyrics

Verse 1

I was sitting at my desk, one day,
Reading yet another resume.
Checked my email and there was no doubt
I could feel my heart turn inside out.

Chorus (repeat)

Not a-fuckin'-gain!
Not another friend I'm awkward with!
Not another crush who never calls!
Not another girl I'll never date!
Not someone who won't reciprocate!
Not another girl I'll never tell!
Not another shortcut into hell!
Falling for her isn't smart;
I'm a masochist at heart.

Verse 2

I've been through this ugliness before.
I could do without this damned encore.
I once wound up angry for a 
	       year
So this time, you know I'm staying clear.
Have to keep these feelings locked away.
It's a very tricky game to play.
How can I stay in my normal groove
When I'm second-guessing every move?

Chorus (repeat)

Not a-fuckin'-gain!
Not another friend I'm awkward with!
Not another crush who never calls!
Not another girl I'll never date!
Not someone who won't reciprocate!
Not another girl I'll never tell!
Not another shortcut into hell!
Falling for her isn't smart;
I'm a masochist at heart.

Verse 3

	    Yes, my search for love's
	       an epic quest,
	 
But this feeling's an unwanted guest.
Watch me-- once again, I've got it wrong,
So I have to write another song.

	    One
	       day, I know, I will get it right,
	 

	    But 'till then
	       you'll have to share my plight.
	 
I could laugh, or I could shed a tear,
So I'll stick another chorus here.

Chorus (repeat)

Not a-fuckin'-gain!
Not another friend I'm awkward with!
Not another crush who never calls!
Not another girl I'll never date!
Not someone who won't reciprocate!
Not another girl I'll never tell!
Not another shortcut into hell!
Falling for her isn't smart;
I'm a masochist at heart.
