He’s the deflated balloon wrapped round your gate ,
Cut price to clear and past his sell by date ,
He’ll be the fool running through the church yard
Screaming out its not too late ,
And when he does ,
I know that you’ll wait ,
He’s the drunk man with bad breath coming on too strong ,
But he’s the beauty queen that strings your heart along ,
And he’ll answer every question in your new age magazine wrong ,
But I know you love him strong ,
So I am leaving for there’s nothing to believe in ,
I’m just grieving for a love I never knew ,
Please don’t go misreading me ,
I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me ,
Just not needing me the way that I need you ,
He’s the elephant in the room that never speaks ,
But you dream about him every two weeks ,
And I wouldn’t know his name but you call it in your sleep ,
Oh I know you love him deep ,
So run back to him like you should ,
I guess I always knew that you would ,
For he’s captured your heart in a way I never could ,
So go on and love him good
Oh I am leaving for there’s nothing to believe in ,
I’m just grieving for a love I never knew ,
You’re the book I can’t stop reading ,
I’m the stray cat you’ve been feeding ,
But the tides they are receding now its true ,
Please don’t go misreading me ,
I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me ,
Just not needing me the way that I need you ,
Just not needing me the way that I need you . |
