The Way That I Need You |
| About one year later your daddy was born and your |
| grandma held my hand so tight |
| Oh I can’t tell the joy as she brought forth new life, |
| by the glow of the kerosene light, by the glow of the kerosene light. |
| He’s the deflated balloon wrapped around your gait |
| Cut priced to clear a past to «sell by date» |
| He’ll be fool running through the church screaming out «it's not too late» |
| When he does, I know that you’ll wait |
| He’s the drunk man with bad breath coming on too strong |
| 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’ll love him strong |
| So I’m leaving before there’s nothing to believe in |
| I’m just craving for a love I never knew |
| Please don’t go mistreating 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 |
| 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 |
| So I’m leaving before there’s nothing to believe in |
| I’m just craving for a love I’ve never knew |
| I’m the stray cat you keep feeding |
| You’re the book I can’t stop reading |
| But the tides are receding that it’s true |
| So please don’t go mistreating 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 |
