About one year later your daddy was born and your grandma held my hand so tight
Oh I canât tell the joy as she brought forth new life, by the glow of the kerosene light, by the glow of the kerosene light.
Heâs the deflated balloon wrapped around your gait
Cut priced to clear a past to âsell by dateâ
Heâll be fool running through the church screaming out âitâs not too lateâ
When he does, I know that youâll wait
Heâs the drunk man with bad breath coming on too strong
Heâs the beauty queen that strings your heart along
And heâll answer every question in your new-age magazine wrong
But I know youâll love him strong
So Iâm leaving before thereâs nothing to believe in
Iâm just craving for a love I never knew
Please donât go mistreating me
Iâm not saying youâve been misleading me
Just not needing me the way that I need you
Heâs the elephant in the room that never speaks
But you dream about him every two weeks
I wouldnât 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 heâs captured your heart in a way I never could
So go on and love him good
So Iâm leaving before thereâs nothing to believe in
Iâm just craving for a love Iâve never knew
Iâm the stray cat you keep feeding
Youâre the book I canât stop reading
But the tides are receding that itâs true
So please donât go mistreating me
Iâm not saying youâve been misleading me,
Just not needing me the way that I need you
Just not needing me the way that I need you
