about

I originally wrote this song in early March 2013, after a conversation with a not-so-ex-flame.

lyrics

Why can't you just walk away and leave me be?
We said all that was left to say, why must you taunt me?
Is it because I'm moving on
You still wanna carry on?
Just when I turn my heart away you say you want me

What about you laying claim to another woman?
Never thought I'd see the day I'm finally over
I laugh and say you made your bed
I smile a bit and shake my head
You look me in the eye and say, "I'm only human"

CHORUS
If you love me like you say you do
Don't you taunt me, don't make me your fool
Let me go and set me free of you
Don't make me fall again
Into your arms again
I'm human too

How I miss your lips on mine
Your kiss was healing
Even though you weren't my guy
I caught the feelin'
You broke my heart at every turn
A lesson that I had to learn
My heart was never safe with you
Your deeds reveal this

Yet and still I can't deny
I still dream it
You unleash the butterflies
And send them seeking
But I won't dare to hold your hand
Cuz now you're someone else's man
I look you in the eyes and say, "I'm no angel"

CHORUS
