i can't afford that feeling anymore

I CAN’T AFFORD THAT FEELING ANYMORE

I used to wait for you to come alone
Know I was born lonely
You took the only love I 'd ever found
Gave it to another
I don't wanna let you go
But by now, I ought'a know
I can't afford that feeling anymore
To lie and wonder what you do, and who you do it for.
I can't afford that feeling anymore
To know that someone holds the one
That all my love was for
You see, I can't afford that feeling anymore
It's funny that you chose to call today
And tell me that you love me
I thought I'd finally put these thoughts away
And left the past behind me
While in my mind I can see
Just how good it used to be but...
I can't afford that feeling anymore...
To lie and wonder what you do, and who you do it for
I can't afford that feeling anymore
To know that someone holds the one
That all my love was for
You see, I can't afford that feeling anymore

Now I know why lonely people do
Anything the night has asked them to
Making love with strangers in regret
Because it helps them to forget

I can't afford that feeling anymore...




I'd rather leave while I'm in love
while I still believe the meaning of the word
I'll keep my dreams and just pretend
that you and I are never gonna end

Too many times I've seen
the rose die on the vine
somebody's heart gets broken
usually it's mine
I don't want to take the chance
of being hurt again
and you and I can't say good-bye

So if you wake and find me gone
oh baby carry on you see I need my
fantasy I still believe it's best
to leave while I'm in love

Too many times I've seen
the rose die on the vine
somebody's heart gets broken usually
It's mine I don't want to take
the chance of being hurt again
and you and I can't say good-bye

So if you wake and find me gone
oh baby carry on you see I need my
fantasy I still believe it's best to
leave while I'm in love I still believe
It's best to leave while I'm in love
