i could tell by the way you were looking at me
how numbing that touch would be
i know who you are and how you work around here
excuse me but i wouldnt bother to try
i cant believe youd take my anger
dont you know its all i had
i need something to hold onto
but now all i have is you
do you have the strength to carry the burden of two
lord knows ive tried
theres a lot of fish in the sea
i guess that would make one out of me
the other night you tried to drop me a line
you must have expected a catch well really im fine
why dont you pack up your gear and go away
the fish arent biting around here today
i like this room to swim
but you hope to take me from the sea
i dish you out some food for thought
it feels like your eating away at me
starving me out of my shell
dont you know the fruit not picked from the tree
will someday drop to the ground
im sorry that i might not be what you expect
well what you see aint always what you get
i have some bad habits
yes its true and some of them are hard to break
this feels like one of them
could you call it a mistake
i want a love that doesnt make me weak
but i could just settle
i mean ive settled for less
ive been fighting battles all my life
im so used to the war
now its time for me to stand at ease
yeah its easy to be so hard
its so hard to give in and please
