Gyroscope

She's wearing too much lipstick tonight

The little black dress a little too tight

She tries to make small talk but it drips with spice

She knows that he's coming, it's really alright

Nobody here could know how she feels

She's not getting drunk and she hates wearing heels

She tries to stand, but the room seems to bend a reel

Her friends all keep asking why can't she just deal

If she spins fast enough then maybe

The broken pieces of her heart

Will stay together, but ain't no gyroscope

Can spin forever

If she spins fast enough then maybe

The broken pieces of her heart

Will stay together, but ain't no gyroscope

Can spin forever

He says it's over, it's such a release

It's finally happened and he's making his peace

All the reminders don't bother him in the least

The Jekyll and Hyde shit will finally cease

His eyes on fire and his hands kind of shake

Like his voice is ready to break

You kind of wonder how long this boy's been awake

Or just how much less sense one person can make

If he spins fast enough then maybe

The broken pieces of his heart

Will stay together, but ain't no gyroscope

Can spin forever

If he spins fast enough then maybe

The broken pieces of his heart

Will stay together, but ain't no gyroscope

Can spin forever

Happiness is such hard work

And harder every day

And it can kill you, but no one wants to be that

Tacky about it

If you spin fast enough, then maybe

The broken pieces of your heart

Will stay together, but something I've seen lately

Makes me doubt it
