Your words are sweet

But you're not something to keep.

You think you know what love is?

Your love is cheap.

 

A game.

That's all you are.

Not real, just make believe.

We'd never get far.

 

Yet there's something about you

That pulls me back

But if you're not something to keep

Why won't you let me sleep?
