I Wouldn't Wanna Happen To You

(album: Drawn From Memory - 2000)

Know that I went as high as I could go on my first time
Where's the fun if your feelings are left behind

And it's your right when you mean it to find the proof, make me hear it
'Cause when I'm wrong I don't see it anymore

'Cause I feel like a fake when I feel any feeling

And I wouldn't wanna happen to you
'Cause I know ya mean it

You have a laugh when you let go
That makes it's a big unwanted side show
Why count the times that you feel low, when you shine

'Cause your stone cold wise, I'm in to what you doing

And I wouldn't wanna happen to you
'Cause I could never climb the walls you'd walk through

And it's the smiling lies that always come
To make you feel that I'm the one for you

I know it feels like you spent your whole life
With people trying to keep you in your place

But no one knows you better than me when I say
No, no, no, no

I wouldn't wanna happen to you
'Cause I can't bear to climb the walls you'd walk through

But it's the smiling lies that always come
To make you feel that I'm the one for you

You pinned your hope one me like I'm all you find
But I wouldn't wanna happen to you this time

I've gone away
I've gone away
I've gone away
