I don't have a dating line If I did, you would be on it Don't be offended, this isn't timed I want to learn to care for myself a bit If I had eyes for lust and a heart for love Rest assured it would be you I'd be thinking of But you fell on me like a cold, hard rain You didn't excite me, you just soaked me to the skin You buffeted my heart and buffered my brain And I never thought I'd say this again I want you and love you, but I really don't need you Don't be offended, that's just life How we feel is how it is I don't want to take a wife Tears won't change the status quo Ignorance won't stop your fits I could've spared you, but you should know That your perfection scares me more than a bit I want to be friends but not a cliché Life is too short to reset me that way But you fell on me like a cold, hard rain You didn't excite me, you just soaked me to the skin You buffeted my heart and buffered my brain And I never thought I'd say this again I want you and love you, but I really don't need you Don't be offended, that's just life How we feel is how it is I don't want to take a wife Pour your feelings in a jar Like a libation to the gods I know what I say, see these scars When you gamble with love, you'd better know the odds If you're masochistic or a mastermind You'll kill us both by keeping your pain inside But you fell on me like a cold, hard rain You didn't excite me, you just soaked me to the skin You buffeted my heart and buffered my brain And I never thought I'd say this again I want you and love you, but I really don't need you Don't be offended, that's just life How we feel is how it is I don't want to take a wife You ask about our future But I'm not going to tell you You ask me if I love you But I'm not going to tell you You ask me what I'm thinking But I'm not gonna tell you I'm not gonna tell you Will you hate me forever? I know we won't be real friends You'll burn my gifts and try to sever I hope you didn't think we'd never end Thought we fail almost every time we strive I don't know what makes humans survive But you fell on me like a cold, hard rain You didn't excite me, you just soaked me to the skin You buffeted my heart and buffered my brain And I never thought I'd say this again I want you and love you, but I really don't need you Don't be offended, that's just life How we feel is how it is I don't want to take a wife You ask about our future But I'm not going to tell you You ask me if I love you But I'm not going to tell you You ask me what I'm thinking But I'm not gonna tell you I'm not gonna tell you I'm not handling this too well I'm in an uncomfortable spot I felt like a jerk when your smile fell It's hard to say "I love you" and then break your heart This is a selfish speech at your expense Now you'll spend your time looking for recompense But you fell on me like a cold, hard rain You didn't excite me, you just soaked me to the skin You buffeted my heart and buffered my brain And I never thought I'd say this again I want you and love you, but I really don't need you Don't be offended, that's just life How we feel is how it is I don't want to take a wife I want you and love you, but I really don't need you Don't be offended, that's just life How we feel is how it is I don't want to take a wife
