I wish I could write a lovely song for you
One that would tell you how I feel
A song you could listen to and say "”Oh ain't that sweet!”"
A song to make you love me, sweep you off your pretty feet
-- chorus --
But this ain't it, I know,
Because it's full o' shit
I don't have the talent to impress you
Or the charm to undress you
I'm in a bubble that needs some bursting
I am hungering, I am thirsting
I can't cling to your sweet image
It is faded, I am jaded
This ain't it, I know
Because it's full o' shit
I wish I could give you something all your own
Something you'd hear and think of me
A little celebration of the love I feel for you
To fill your heart with happiness and love for me anew
-- chorus --
You say that you just don't have the time for me
Which tells me just how much I mean to you
I'll forget about the plans for us that I've been thinking of
I'll open up my eyes and stop pretending this is love
-- chorus --
