Don't get indignant with me
I didn't start this ride and you know that's true
You looked at me, I didn't look at you
You tapped my shoulder

Now that we're close, you start to run
Didn't want the heat, only needed fun
Should have taken time to learn who I was
Walked into this life, all full of fuzz

So let's be clear, did you think I fell for you
I'll admit with time, maybe that'd be true.
But there's another who was here 'fore you
He filled this heart, there's little room for you
You say it's all too intense for you
But you found I started meaning so more to you
And your answer then, is to run from me
Back it up and start again.

You know my life is topsy turvy now
And soon, I hope, it all will settle down.
You have your life and I respect that so
If you must leave than you can go

They say you get what you give my friend
Somehow that slit my throat in the end
I never break, I always seem to bend
And this heart never learned the art of when to run
