I love you, but I’m not a thief

Despite the masses disbelief

No matter what we tend to think

You do not belong to me

 

We’ve always known to some degree

The way this venture had to be

I can’t bring artillery

We’re better than a robbery

 

I want you, but you’re not a need

Even though my heart shall bleed

I cannot be the wrecking ball

I can’t set fire to it all

 

Together we’re a roaring flame

On my own, I’m just a flicker

And no matter how I try

I can’t make my courage bigger

 

“They love me” never sounds the same

When followed by, “You’ll see.

Any day now, I can tell

They’ll leave their wife for me.”
