NOT A PLACE I WANT TO BE

NOT A PLACE I WANT TO BE

You keep woman from your past in your life, as if you just can't let them go

Even the very ones, that you've been inappropriate with, as we both know

But you keep talking to them, and you don't seem to care how it makes me feel

You haven't severed any of those ties, and I'm sure that you never will

I feel like you just don't care if this drives me away

Cause you don't feel it matters, if I leave or if I stay

I wish it was different, I wish you cared a little bit more about me

But it is what it is, and it's very plain to see

Maybe someday you'll find someone who will make you change your mind

Maybe you'll stop looking elsewhere, because you'll be satisfied with what you find

Maybe it will be one of those women from your past

Or maybe you'll find someone new, and that'll be the one that'll last

Maybe you're just the kind of man that needs to be free to do whatever you do

But it's become very clear to me, that I'm not the woman for you

Still I'd like to thank you for the good times that we've had

There's been a lot of good, and very little bad

You've been so very sweet to me in so many different ways

And I'll remember all of it fondly, for the rest of my days

I'll think about you in the future, and I'm sure the memories will make me smile

You are truly one of a kind, with your own unique style

I wish things could be different and could go a different way

All of these realizations make me sad today

But it is, the way it is, and we can't change it, even though I wish I could

I hope you have a happy life and receive everything you should

As for remaining friends, I don't think that will work for me

I don't want to be added to your long list of ex's/friends, it's not a place I want to be
