I’m not asking you to be my shinning knight
but you should treat me better and start acting right.
I don’t need saving, in fact I do just fine on my own
So if you want me in your life then you need to grow up.
I could be good for you if you let me
but you’re too scared I’ll end up being your weakness.
Your hearts so soft
I feel like I could break it with one touch.
But it bounces back
as if I was never there at all.
I want to call you baby
I want to wear your shirt to bed.
I want you to hang out with my family.
I want you to take me
to the new restaurant downtown.
I want to cheer you on
at your hockey games.
I want more than I planned.

Scars fade
but it’s like this
pain was handmade
for me.
You talk about her and it’s not the dagger in my heart I thought it would be.
Still aimed in my direction it whispers right past my ear, the dagger of self doubt.
If it’s your true love I’ll gladly lay down in defeat but you speak with lust
and I can’t reason your insecurities this time.
There’s a line of new girls you’re hoping will take your mind off her.
I wonder why you keep me at a distance
when I’m a master of distraction and seduction.
