I Don't Live Here

She came to him
brokenhearted
you could see it
in her eyes

She conveyed to him
just how sick
she was
of all the lies

He said to her
just forget him
he couldn't make it better
but he sure tried

Then all he could do
was sit there
as she began
to cry

she began to cry
and he let out a sigh
as the cycle began again

he's the guy that every girl needs
but no girl wants
fix them up
and then send them on their way
he's the guy that every girl needs
but no girl wants
put their hearts back together
and watch them walk away
and watch them walk away
every time he'd watch her walk away

She was gone
found a new guy
and she was
on her way

He sat in the front lawn
thinking
maybe
another day

Then came along
another girl
it seemed it was his fate

but something was different
when he looked in her eyes
he knew it was too late

he knew it was too late
he couldn't keep his heart straight
and the cycle began again

he's the guy that every girl needs
but no girl wants
fix them up
and then send them on their way
he's the guy that every girl needs
but no girl wants
put my heart back together
and watch her walk away
I watched her walk away
watch her walk away

and what would you do
if I accidentally fell
in love with you?
just like the others
Would you gentley let me down
or break my heart
just like the others
it's tearing me apart
are you like the others, or not?
