Love Is Mine To Find Again

I could give up on love
And never love another
Let you control my future 
Throw my life away for your games
But no
I’ll go on
Love is mine to find again

Washed your dishes while you watched tv
I rubbed your back 
Hoping you’d put your arm around me
Put my whole heart into loving you
But you still went to lunch with other girls
Thought it was ok to hug them close
Shouldn’t matter to me cause how would I know
I went to work and you stayed home collecting checks 
Oh what a mess
How was I so dense

I could give up on love
And never love another
Let you control my future 
Throw my life away for your games
But no
I’ll go on
Love is mine to find again

Found out you were sly
Spent hours with girls all the time 
Fixed things at their house 
Without asking for cash
But with me you nickeled and dimed
Gave me the receipt every time
Always asked me for half
When we went out or for gas
Oh what a mess
How was I so dense

I could give up on love
And never love another
Let you control my future 
Throw my life away for your games
But no
I’ll go on
Love is mine to find again

I promised I loved you
You checked my eyes every time
Was the spark still in there
Just trust me I’d swear
Couldn’t give me your whole self
Kept a safe distance from me
I was never your enemy
But you were too distant to see
Oh what a mess
How was I so dense

I could give up on love
And never love another
Let you control my future 
Throw my life away for your games
But no
I’ll go on
Love is mine to find again
