For so long I thought I just needed to be loved by somebody Just any ol' body would do Until I met you
And my mind that never ceases to race - stopped My heart that ached for someone skipped
There you were Without making any real effort you were all I'd ever hoped for All I ever thought good enough to deserve You didn't even try, really
But you also didn't try to stop me Not with any true effort You'd disappear and think that counted as goodbye But anytime you popped up to say hello I fall just as deep all over again
I thought this is all there is But then you weren't And while I tried to make sense of it Explain away the intricacies I'd made up to explain it I couldn't replace the feeling I lost when I lost you
And I tried With boys and girls and booze and weed I tried to occupy my time by working more or helping others
I tried to find all the things that were wrong with you and us But my heart is so invested any wrong seemed fixable Any problem seemed with compromising for Somehow even after all this time
I cannot justify letting you go My heart wanted to be loved Then I met you and that was it Everything stopped And I only wanted you
