Future Sweetheart, Former Lover

Last night it was "hun," and now you call me sweetheart...
But I not sure I'm comfortable with all that that entails.
Way back when we met, you didn't even see me
And then a few years later I was just your contact name--
A way to met the needs you had, then away you went so fast,
Never looking back at me, not one call returned.
So now I hear you say these words, the ones that jump my heart
And fearfully I call you friend, hesitant for the day
You turn and leave me standing here all hope shattered on the ground
Because no one sticks around these days
And promises hold no water.

But how do I look into your eyes, and kick you while you're down?
Now while you look to me for strength in all you do...
The friendship I can offer you, is so far from what you grasp
And tears would stream if I came clean to everyone I know.
My heart longs to love you; and hands long to hold yours.
But somewhere deep down I know it's not right
To offer more right now...because you aren't ready to give me all of you
There's nothing there to offer yet so I cant ask that much.
With all the things that you've been through
I wont be that girl. The one who tries to change you now
The one you'll learn to live without. The girl you'll soon regret.
(The one you'll learn to regret. The girl you'll soon forget)
