The Way That I Need You

He’s the deflated balloon wrapped round your gate ,

Cut price to clear and past his sell by date ,

He’ll be the fool running through the church yard

Screaming out its not too late ,

And when he does ,

I know that you’ll wait ,

He’s the drunk man with bad breath coming on too strong ,

But he’s the beauty queen that strings your heart along ,

And he’ll answer every question in your new age magazine wrong ,

But I know you love him strong ,

So I am leaving for there’s nothing to believe in ,

I’m just grieving for a love I never knew ,

Please don’t go misreading me ,

I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me ,

Just not needing me the way that I need you ,

He’s the elephant in the room that never speaks ,

But you dream about him every two weeks ,

And I wouldn’t know his name but you call it in your sleep ,

Oh I know you love him deep ,

So run back to him like you should ,

I guess I always knew that you would ,

For he’s captured your heart in a way I never could ,

So go on and love him good

Oh I am leaving for there’s nothing to believe in ,

I’m just grieving for a love I never knew ,

You’re the book I can’t stop reading ,

I’m the stray cat you’ve been feeding ,

But the tides they are receding now its true ,

Please don’t go misreading me ,

I’m not saying you’ve been misleading me ,

Just not needing me the way that I need you ,

Just not needing me the way that I need you .
