lyrics

Today I’m only her wrong number, why?
Tomorrow I may be her lover, why?
Why Love - why do you show me, Love?
Why make me lie, Love?
Why hide my heart, Love?

She needs challenge, she needs mystery
Leave her wondering what became of me
Why Love - why do you show me, Love?
Why play a game, Love?
It’s such a shame, Love?

I know the game
I can play my part
Before I knew her name
I saw her empty heart
Love, it won’t be long
Love, you’ll bring her to me
Then she may be gone
But the real thing is free

Love, you are mean
Love, you use me way too much
First you make me see
Then rely on my touch
And when the healing’s done
What’s left of me?

Give her only what she needs to see
Hide away the better parts of me
Why Love - why do you show me, Love?
I’m not your home, Love
Leave me alone, Love

I can feel her searching now for me
When I take her I will set her free
Why Love - why do you show me, Love?
Why have you chosen me, Love?
To open this rose, Love?

I feel the cold
Wrapped around her heart
Distrust has taken hold
Torn her world apart
Love, welcome home
Love, entrust her to me
Carry us along
The finest things are free

Love, you are mean
Love, you use me way too much
First you make me see
Then rely on my touch
When the healing’s done
What is left of me?

Love, you’re so mean
Love, you let me see too much
But don’t abandon me
Here’s another, heal them
And when the healing’s done
The world be damned I’m free

Don’t know what I wanted
For a while she gave it
She pulled back and I’m haunted
But I’m OK with waiting
Love, be on her mind
Love, I know she’ll find me
And never look behind
Even though she may leave me
Even though she may leave him
Even though she may leave us all behind

Love, you’re so mean
Love, you let me see too much
But don’t abandon me
Here’s another, heal them
And when the healing’s done
Even I was free

Today I’m only her wrong number
Tomorrow I will be her lover
