He wanted to give me forever
But I only wanted today
He wanted us to be together
In a permanent surgical way

He wanted our hearts firmly sutured
Stitched like a grisly beating valentine
But that was never part of my future
He wouldn't listen time after time

Needle and thread within his mind
Binding us closer than I ever meant
Home surgery of the mental kind
A shade of love twisted and bent

I can't lock my soul to one
I'll be honest to admit that fact
It's not a crime to be addicted to fun
He just got too attached

Maybe I just haven't met the prize
That makes me want to give my soul
Without bargaining some lofty price
Or piercing my love with a scarring hole
