Pull away so many times...

Herbert James Draper: The Kelpie

Waitin for somethin
That is never coming
So I guess I’ll be on my way
I know it’s over
we could never make it
so I guess I’ll just pull away.

Girl you been cheatin
and you been mistreatin
but I’m doin the best I can
all your confusion
and my disillusion
tell me when is a man a man?

Ooh, I couldn’t live without you
ooh, ooh I’d like to try
so many times
I’ve heard your hundred stories
so many times
I’ve heard you say goodbye.

I tried to hold you
remember I told you
that I know all about your lies
now that you’re goin
your vanity’s showin
I can see it all in your eyes.

Ooh, I couldn’t live without you
ooh, ooh I’d like to try
so many times
I’ve heard your hundred stories
so many times
I’ve heard you say goodbye.

Sittin on a rock
lookin out at the river
thinkin bout the boat
that’s takin you today
gonna take a while but
soon you’ll be a leavin
hope it’s not a streamer
but it’s pullin away.

Watchin all the waves
come rushin up behind you
kinda like an army
on surprise attack
you were always sayin
that you didn’t need me
I hope you really mean it
cause you’re never comin back.

Once upon a time
when you were just a baby
mama used to take you
to a friend of mine
you were always happy
playin with his cannon
then you came to me
and started wastin my time.

I remember when
you said you were a lover
that was just about
a year ago today
all you ever knew
was teasin and a cheatin
all you ever knew
was pullin away.

Waitin for somethin
That is never coming
So I guess I’ll be on my way
I know it’s over
we could never make it
so I guess I’ll just pull away.
