Love Is Mine To Find Again

I could give up on love And never love another Let you control my future Throw my life away for your games But no I’ll go on Love is mine to find again Washed your dishes while you watched tv I rubbed your back Hoping you’d put your arm around me Put my whole heart into loving you But you still went to lunch with other girls Thought it was ok to hug them close Shouldn’t matter to me cause how would I know I went to work and you stayed home collecting checks Oh what a mess How was I so dense I could give up on love And never love another Let you control my future Throw my life away for your games But no I’ll go on Love is mine to find again Found out you were sly Spent hours with girls all the time Fixed things at their house Without asking for cash But with me you nickeled and dimed Gave me the receipt every time Always asked me for half When we went out or for gas Oh what a mess How was I so dense I could give up on love And never love another Let you control my future Throw my life away for your games But no I’ll go on Love is mine to find again I promised I loved you You checked my eyes every time Was the spark still in there Just trust me I’d swear Couldn’t give me your whole self Kept a safe distance from me I was never your enemy But you were too distant to see Oh what a mess How was I so dense I could give up on love And never love another Let you control my future Throw my life away for your games But no I’ll go on Love is mine to find again
