ViolentLather - The Scent of Love Lyrics

The wind carries a scent so foul, when you're around it brings me down
I try to breathe, I try to smile, but your aroma lingers for miles

There's something I've been meaning to say, something I've been wanting to share
I don't want you to think I'm being mean, I want you to know that I really care
I can't see straight when you're near me, my fight or flight instinct kicks in, you see
When you breathe or talk or laugh at me, your stink is just too much to ask of me

When I'm face to face, looking into your eyes, my eyes get all puffy just like I've been crying
I always say it's cause I miss you so much, but that's not the truth, it's just me lying
I can't see straight when you're near me, my fight or flight instinct kicks in, you see
When you breathe or talk or laugh at me, your stink is just too much to ask of me

I remember the first time we met, your eyes were bright, your smile was set
But as you leaned in for a friendly hug, I felt like I had nowhere to run
I can't see straight when you're near me, my fight or flight instinct kicks in, you see
When you breathe or talk or laugh at me, your stink is just too much to ask of me

I tried to hint with gifts and sprays, candles, soaps, and fresh bouquets
But nothing seems to do the trick, your unique scent is making me sick
I bought you mints and tried to joke, even left a note with some Febreze
But nothing helps, it's like a curse, you'd drop an elephant to its knees

I grab my coat and make a dash, out the door in a mad flash
Holding my breath, feeling so faint, running outside but I just can't...
