I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE
SO I'M OUT AT NIGHT CHASING CARS
LIKE A DOG WITHOUT A BONE
I AM HUNGRY AND EXHAUSTED
SO I NEED A PLACE TO SLEEP
BUT THERE'S NO ROOM AT ANY OF THESE INNS
SO I LAY DOWN IN THE STREET
AND TURN INTO CONCRETE AND LET YOU WALK ALL OVER ME

AND I AM NOT
WHAT YOU WANT
AND I KNOW IT'S HARD TO SAY BUT IT'S THE TRUTH
BUT DON'T EXPECT MY SYMPATHY
BECAUSE IT'S TWICE AS HARD TO HEAR

I'VE BEEN NIPPING AT YOUR HEELS
BUT YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN TOO FAST FOR ME
AND I HAVE WASTED FIVE LONG YEARS
IN PURSUIT OF A HAPPINESS
THAT DON'T SUIT OUR NEEDS
AND I WISH I WOULD'VE KNOWN RIGHT FROM THE START
THAT YOU WOULD JUST UP AND LEAVE
BECAUSE I NEVER WOULD HAVE LET IT GET THIS FAR

AND I AM NOT
WHAT YOU NEED
AND I'LL NEVER BE SO WHAT AM I TO DO?
CUT THE TIES, AND LET YOU LOOSE
BUT I NEVER HELD YOUR REIGNS
I NEVER KEPT YOU IN CHAINS
YOU WERE ALWAYS FREE TO GO
BUT I NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD

I'VE SEEN HONEST FACES USUALLY ATTACHED TO LIARS
I'VE KISSED THE FEET OF THOSE WHO'VE WALKED THROUGH BURNING FIRE
I'VE BEEN SHOWN THE PRICE OF LOVE
I'VE BEEN SHOWN THE PRICE OF LOVE
I'VE BEEN SHOWN THE PRICE OF LOVE
BUT COULD NOT PAY THE COST
BUT COULD NOT PAY THE COST

I'M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING I DID THAT MIGHT HAVE HURT YOU
AND I'M SORRY FOR EVERYTHING I SAID THAT MIGHT HAVE DONE THE SAME
BUT AN APOLOGY TAKES TWO
ONE TO BE WRONG
AND ONE TO BE WRONGED
AND I DON'T THINK I HURT YOU
SO LET'S GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS AND YOU CAN TELL THIS STORY ANY WAY YOU WANT
