Love Me Too Well, I'll Retire Early

I don't want to say it till it's all I can

I don't want to cry unless it's by your hand

Thought that getting deep was in keeping score

Thought that I'd been loved by a man before

Want to live up to your fantasies

Want to be all that you see in me

Tricky to fill are the shoes I wore

Kicking them off at your bedroom door

I don't have much to say now

I'm not sad enough

I play shows, I go home

I think I'll call it love

Changing what my mouth and my hands are good for

Holding up your head is their only task

See it in the crowd and I play the wrong chords

Stumble over words, shooting blanks

Wouldn't put money on me staying soft

Don't want to be around when the penny drops

The more you give the less I'm worthy

Love me too well, I'll retire early

I don't have much to say now

I'm not sad enough

I play shows, I go home

I think I'll call it love
