She was going to set me free
A soul mate at night
The love born in my arms
But she could only hurt herself

She was going to save my soul
She acted like she knew how
I couldn’t walk on water
But she knew how to set it on fire

I let love divide me up inside
So many hands have been discarded
I’m still ready to cut the deck
But somebody has to pick it up

You will never know
How good it could be with me
You're a fantasy loving another man
Unable to believe in herself

She was going to think about it
I was the home she almost bought
Until I said it wasn’t for sale
Now the sign is back up in the yard

I let love tell me how to live
Could I fall in love with anyone
Or is it that I don’t understand?
I’m ready to listen to you again
