lyrics

I've waited
'cause I'm fated
to burden quite a lot on a few

the time I've wasted
getting wasted
trying to think of anybody but you

feeling like I'm not quite good enough
like I gotta always try to win your love
but baby, oh how it feels when I am winning

but you know I'm good at acting tough
I'll pretend it doesn't matter much
and put it into the songs that I am singing

you watch me
you want me
'cause somehow I got under your skin

but you stop me
and you taunt me
terrified of letting me in

feeling like I'm not quite good enough
like I gotta always try to win your love
but you know I'm good at acting tough
I'll pretend it doesn't matter much


feeling like I'm not quite good enough
like I gotta always try to win your love
baby, just let me stay a little longer

addicted to the hopelessness of love
like we gotta always try to find The One
but maybe it's just some souls are meant to hunger

about

Mary Beth Austin, Texas
