lyrics

Lover, lover, where did I go wrong?
Did I go building a home, out of paper and straw?

I don’t think that I can change right now,
I need somebody who can show me how.

I don’t want to feel like this anymore.
I don’t want to feed this fire.
I don’t want to be the one
Who’s running you down every night.

I don’t want to feel like this anymore.
I don’t want to look inside.
I don’t wanna know, I’m so scared
What I could find.

Do you feel this aching in your chest?
I ain’t never felt nothing like this.

I don’t know you, and I never did.
But I’ve known good love before
And it don’t feel a thing like...

I don’t want to feel like this anymore.
I don’t want to feed this fire.
I don’t want to be the one
Who’s running you down every night.

I don’t want to feel like this anymore.
I don’t want to look inside.
I don’t wanna know, I’m so scared
What I could find.

When you wake up and the money’s all gone
The friends left you alone.

Yeah the thrill of it all, don’t last very long.
When there’s nothing to break the fall.

They’ll say I had the choice to stay
As If I had a choice to go.

Take a look around this is what we got now
And it’s no place for a home.

Lover, lover, where did I go wrong?

Did I go building a home, out of paper and straw?
