He had all kind of reasons
|
Why she was unable to love him
|
She was just too young
|
She was too high strung
|
She was afraid of commitment
|
|
But all of the theories
|
That he recited
|
Played like the song
|
Of the unrequited
|
|
And baby, how long's it been now
|
Since you held me to your chest
|
And told me that you love me
|
More than all the rest?
|
|
It's such a shame that you won't talk to me
|
'Cuz I won't repeat after you
|
I believe that there is more to life
|
We could've loved each other through
|
But I was afraid of commitment
|
When it came to you
|
|
I'll tell you, if there is one instinct
|
I just can't get with at all
|
It's the urge to kill something beautiful
|
Just to hang it on your wall
|
|
Are you just too young?
|
Are you too high strung
|
To actually follow through
|
On all the love you said you had?
|
Baby, I never lied to you
|
Is all or nothing
|
Really the best we can do?
