Some days I want to love you
Most of the time it's true
But sometimes I need you to go away
And have me far from you
*
You treat me like a princess
Love stronger than a raging sea
Dripping diamonds of devotion
Each taking the breath from me
*
But each prince has a peril
And yours is plain in sight
Every loved-filled day is equally met
With a heartless, angry night
*
Oh, baby, I am torn here
I don't know which way to turn
Should I run, or should I stay
And watch this crash and burn?
*
So darlin' I don't need you
My love for you is still there
But this pain inside keeps growing
How much longer can I care?
*
Just when I'm about to pick up the phone
And end this once and for all
I hear your voice and reminisce
And again for you I fall
*
Why can't this be a half-and-half?
Why not a part-time job?
But I get another unanswered question
And another choked-back sob
*
I'm sorry if this sounds selfish
But I never took an oath
I want you here, I want you gone
Why can't I have both?
