Handyman

Handyman

Can't compete with someone who...
Is already waiting at your door.
Already he is back with you...
And you've moved on again once more.

Heart breaking to believe that we...
Had almost reached a place of trust.
To only just the next day see...
Once again there is no us.

Handyman is at your door...
And ready with his tools...
I guess you need repaired some more...
That excuse nobody fools!

Before we had a chance to be...
What I dreamed we could become.
The handyman is there to see...
What was fixed is then undone!

He knows the tools that work on you...
And is paid for going there.
At your door with the tools to do.
What he thinks needs more repair!

Again you are the broken one...
His repairs keep breaking down.
He returns to do what he has done.
There's now some rumors going round!

We almost made it past your doubt...
But there's no doubt anymore!
No leaky pipes brought this about.
And it's not that cooked door!

Insane, no shame, it's just a game.
I don't believe you were sincere...
It's that wild side that you can't tame...
I won't come back to you anymore!

You just can't commit to anyone...
When it gets real you just run.
It's sad to know you can't let go...
And your repairs... Are never done!

No anger left, just sad regret...
No chance of love that will endure...
That you can change... I would not bet.
You're too broken down I'm sure!

You can't have your cake and eat it too...
I guess it's time to stop pretending.
Handyman can have his way with you...
Your repairs are never ending!

No handyman has the tools for you...
Because you really just don't care.
Down deep down I've always known that's true.
You are broken beyond repair!
