Why did I have to be so stupid
All over again
To think it would last forever
That it would never end
You’d think I would have
Figured it out by now
I should be put out to pasture
Just like an old cow

Why can’t I find someone
Who feels the way I feel
Loves the way I love
Totally, completely, not half-assed
Or afraid of reliving
Some dreadful part of their past

I can’t ever hold back
Always have to give it my all
Even when I know
I will be the one to fall
Never have been one
To love half-heartedly
Even when the one I thought I loved
Was nothing but a big bully

I thought this time was different
It didn’t feel the same
Guess I’m pretty pathetic
Maybe even lame
To think someone would want me
To have and to hold
Eventually I’ll just be lonely and old

I have so much love
To give my man
But I don’t know if he wants me to
Or if he even can
For now it’s okay
I fit in with his plans
But when his path changes
Where will I stand?

I know where I want to be
By his side
With him holding me
But that’s too much commitment
He’d rather be foot-loose
And fancy-free
No one holding him back
No one tying him down
So if that’s the case
In my own tears
I will drown.
