I let my hair down You showed me all over town But every flower you gave me Has dropped its petals to the ground And lately I pray Don't let me love What will not love me back I think I'm done with that Don't let me love What will not love me back I think I'm done with that 'Cause I waited for you to be what you can't be I let you hold me, but you can't have me I thought that you would be a shelter But I can do better Sweet sadness, my old friend How good it was to sit with you again But you have no heart to save me And I've got so much more to live So lately I pray Don't let me love What will not love me back I think I'm done with that Don't let me love What will not love me back I think I'm done with that I waited for you to be what you can't be I let you hold me, but you can't have me I thought that you would be a shelter But I can do better I've got a love that loves me right My lover makes me come alive There's nothing like it There's nothing like it I've got a love that loves me right My lover makes me come alive There's nothing like it There's nothing like it 'Cause I waited for you to be what you can't be I let you hold me, but you can't have me I thought that you would be a shelter But I can do better I thought that you would be a shelter But I can do better I can do better
