Affliction Lyrics

I've got to be comfortable in my own skin

Before I have yours pressed against mine

I've got to open my eyes and take in the world

Before my vision can accompany you



My love is fiction, a contradiction, that is my affliction

I'm a love story gone wrong, I'm a short story gone too long

My love is fiction, My love is a contradiction



I've got to start to love myself and what's inside

Before I can pretend to love you

I've got to get my life together

Before I think about sharing one with you

By myself is where I need to be

By myself where I can always trust me

By myself is where I'm the expert

By myself where I can never be hurt



My love is fiction, a contradiction, that is my affliction

I'm a love story gone wrong, I'm a short story gone too long

My love is fiction, My love is a contradiction
