lyrics

We’ve been trying to make it work, but
lately it’s a total chore
Might make me sound like a jerk, but
we’ll never get back what we had before
We used to be so in sync, but now
baby, we’re on the brink
I can see the hope in your eyes
and it’s making me realize

This is not an opportunity
for vulnerability
We’re in crisis, and christ it’s plain for all to see
I heard an awkward rumor
You’ve been steppin’ out on me
This ain’t no oppour-tuni
not an opportunity

You always say that we just need to
prioritize intimacy
Forget, forgive, and have faith to
cast that mountain into the sea
I can’t help but feel unsure, as
you’re pushin’ me to endure
new ways to communicate
but maybe it’s just too late

This is not an opportunity
for growth and intimacy
We’re in crisis, the price is equanimity
I heard an awkward rumor
You think I need therapy
This ain’t no oppor-tuni
not an opportunity

doom, doom, doom and despair
this is how love dies
where there once was hope, now there’s none there
please realize

This is now an opportunity
to stop with impunity
End the crisis, and ice this, sad catastrophe
I spread an awkward rumor
you've been wanting rid of me
This is your oppor-tuni
golden opportunity
