"Let Alone The One You Love"

Thought I was done with this feeling

Really thought you could be him

Thought I was safe

You were the warmth that I needed

Like a breeze in the evening

And then you changed

You're all the same, yeah

It's too much to mend

You're the hug that had to end

Though I've tried to hold on

And if you knew me at all

You wouldn't try to keep me small

Who would do that to a friend

Let alone the one you love?

And any choice you had worth making

I'd push you to take it

No questions asked

No doubt in mind

But when they're mine, yeah

You react like I'm crossing a line

I'm too much to handle and

Just dial it back a bit

Well, well I'm not having it, babe

It's too much to mend

You're the hug that had to end

Though I've tried to hold on

And if you knew me at all

You wouldn't try to keep me small

Who would do that to a friend

Let alone the one you love?
