(Verse 1)
You want the honey, but you don't want the sting
A love that dances, but without the ring
Got a little black book, a million names inside
Each one a lifeline, whenever your heart cries
Hopin' someday you'll see, one of us is true
Worthy of your love, the one you run to
Someone to hold you, chase the blues away
Someone to cherish you, come what may
(Chorus)
I should know, yeah, I was one of those names
One of the numbers, playin' your little games
Pick up the phone, I'd come runnin' to you
Foolish devotion, a love that wasn't true
Now I'm caught in the middle, torn in two
Knowin' I gotta leave, but still clingin' to you
(Verse 2)
I see the strings you pull, the thread so thin
Keepin' me close, 'cause where else would you begin?
It ain't 'cause you love me, it's 'cause I'm at your beck
A convenient comfort, nothin' more, I suspect
That realization, it cuts like a knife
Stealin' my future, wastin' my life
You don't mean to hurt me, I know it's just your way
But my heart's breakin' with each passin' day
(Chorus)
I should know, yeah, I was one of those names
One of the numbers, playin' your little games
Pick up the phone, I'd come runnin' to you
Foolish devotion, a love that wasn't true
Now I'm caught in the middle, torn in two
Knowin' I gotta leave, but still clingin' to you
(Bridge)
What hurts the most, is hard for me to say
Leavin' this feelin', or knowin' I should stay
The might-have-beens whisper, a love that slipped on by
While I was waitin' for you, beneath your fickle sky
(Chorus)
I should know, yeah, I was one of those names
One of the numbers, playin' your little games
Pick up the phone, I'd come runnin' to you
Foolish devotion, a love that wasn't true
Now I'm caught in the middle, torn in two
Knowin' I gotta leave, but still clingin' to you
(Outro)
I hate this limbo, this ache in my soul
I love how I feel when you make me whole
But the pain of goodbye, it lingers and stings
Guess I gotta fly, even with broken wings.
