Take a Hint

Is it enough to say

That I want love, but in a different way

Not the kind that needs to be convinced

‘Cause I want you, but I want you to want this

And every time I get too close, I hear the repeating

Cruel reminders of the times I’ve felt this same feeling

When I’m old & all my hair turns grey

I’ll look back on all the things I didn’t say

How your kiss was like warm water on my skin

But it ran cold, and I know how to take a hint

And every time I get too close, I hear the repeating

Cruel reminders of the times I’ve felt this same feeling

Love don’t lift me up to let down - it get’s defeating

Crawling back to heart attack when I should be leaving

And if my heart is made of glass

Rest assured, you’re gonna see the light refract

Painting colors on the walls

‘Cause who you call fragile, someone else just calls

And every time I get too close, I hear the repeating

Cruel reminders of the times I’ve felt this same feeling

Love don’t lift me up to let down - it get’s defeating

Crawling back to heart attack when I should be leaving

Love don’t lift me up to let down
