Aromantic by Mike Fonzarelli Roberts Lyrics
[Spoken]
Aromantic
An aromantic is a person who experiences little to no romantic attraction to others, where romantic people have an emotional need to be with another person in a romantic relationship, aromantics are often satisfied with friendships and other non-romantic relationships
[Verse 1]
You're aromantic, you take no action
To find romance, 'cause you ain't got attraction
While couples are everywhere fillin' you with anguish
And relationship talk is like a foreign language
The concept of monogamy is great
It's to you like steak on vegetarians' plates
You don't crave it, 'cause romance don't make sense
There's other kinds of love for family and friends
They say marriage is how to live life great?
It must be... just look at the divorce rate
You don't need a spouse 'cause other people do
If it grosses you out, live your life for you
It'll be easy if the world wasn't force feeding ya
Love and sex all over mainstream media
They got an addiction that cokeheads suffer
You don't... since you are your own best lover
[Chorus]
Couples are everywhere
You're pullin' your hair
That's because you're aromantic
Monogamy and flings?
You do other things
That's because you're aromantic
Loneliness don't exist
If you were never kissed
So what?
You're aromantic
You'll find somebody quick
But it'll make you sick
That's 'cause you're romantic
[Verse 2]
If romance was made mandatory by you dumb fools
I'd have to follow a ton of complex rules
Ask a girl out on a date, then another
Take her to meet my mother, if I HAD a mother
Then we'll just say we're boy and girlfriend
For months, even years, thinkin' it won't end
When it does, my heart feels cut by a claw
Ain't all that confusin'... it's not the law
If it was, you're sayin' everyone that I have
Like family and friends who will never backstab
Aren't as important as somethin' with a risk
Of heartbreak, cheatin', and divorce on the list?
Plus jealousy, money wastin', ain't that enough?
That's what I WON'T get with other people I love
It's sickenin' if you'll enforce that shit
On others... who don't want it the least bit
[Chorus]
Couples are everywhere
You're pullin' your hair
That's because you're aromantic
Monogamy and flings?
You do other things
That's because you're aromantic
Loneliness don't exist
If you were never kissed
So what?
You're aromantic
You'll find somebody quick
But it'll make you sick
That's 'cause you're romantic
[Verse 3]
Bein' in a relationship scares you to death
It's also gross suckin' on somebody's breath
You gotta pretend to like kissin' on the lips
Or gettin' laid, or bein' touched on the hips
I'll bet fakin' your real self is hard
You ain't gotta fake shit, be who you are
They got a problem if all that you wish
For is a queerplatonic zucchini or a squish
Then they find it weird till they'll just say
"You'll never know, you'll find somebody someday"
It ain't a requirement, you're open to tryin' it
But you got other love that fits your brain wirin'
They SHOULD say, "There's other love you can find
And romantic love ain't the only kind"
You ain't broken like a rusty wheelbarrow
It's just that cupid arrows never hit an "aro"
[Chorus]
Couples are everywhere
You're pullin' your hair
That's because you're aromantic
Monogamy and flings?
You do other things
That's because you're aromantic
Loneliness don't exist
If you were never kissed
So what?
You're aromantic
You'll find somebody quick
But it'll make you sick
That's 'cause you're aromantic
