Don't want to be your half love, baby Your half flame flickering out on your broken stove Don't want to stay and wait around 'til morning To hear you call my name and pound at my back door Don't want to watch a fire when it's dying That half flame flickering out as the smoke it climbs Don't want to see you wander, see you roaming See you halfway out the door as you say goodbye Oh, I've been down that one-way road Now I see where it goes I've tasted your blues And I've had enough of those Don't want to watch the sun shine as it's sinking down That half flame flickering out as the dark it grows Don't want to hear your engine sputter and leave this town See you halfway up the hill from here below Oh, I've been down that one-way road Now I know better than before I can't watch a man half-love me anymore
