I believe I am finally learning that I do have choices
I can use better judgement when I hear all the voices
It’s OK to meet women and date ‘cause it’s fun
It can just be playful, I don’t have to save anyone
I connect with women who have a sad sad song
All about how everyone has done them so wrong
I hear the many tales of how they have been pained
And of course, they deserve … none of the blame
She’ll like me, if I make up, for other people’s behavior
Oh yes, here I come, it is me ….
I am your savior
Don’t be afraid of anything, ‘cause I’m here to please ya’
I’ve arrived with love, I’m your wounded heart anesthesia
We’re doing great, but once again, it’s not going to last
I’m pushed away, when they’re enveloped, by the pain from their past
In their heart, where wounds live, fear will always persist
I get the silent cold shoulder as they suddenly become the bitch
Oh, how quickly they get angry and how quickly they get pissed
I join all the other people on the “You have hurt me” list
It feels like instant replay, I’ve been here many times before
I keep on trying until I can’t take being punished any more
This is what always happens and it brings about the end
It’s hard for me to believe that “here I am again”
I surely hope to God that I am finally starting to learn
The love flame, from fears candle, is the love flame that will
burn
I now know that there is a better life for me
Realizing I have choices, my past won’t become my destiny
I no longer choose women from the same old mold
