I used to wait for you to come around
You know I was born lonely
You took the only love I'd ever found
And gave it to another
I don't want to let you go
But by now I oughta know

I can't afford that feeling anymore
To lie and wonder what you do
And who you do it for
I can't afford that feeling anymore
To know that someone holds the one
That all my love was for, you know
I can't afford that feeling anymore

It's funny that you chose to call today
And tell me that you love me
I thought I'd finally put those thoughts away
And left the past behind me
While in my mind I can see
Just how good it used to be

I can't afford that feeling anymore
To lie and wonder what you do
And who you do it for
I can't afford that feeling anymore
To know that someone holds the one
That all my love was for, you know
I can't afford that feeling anymore

Now I know why lonely people do
Anything the night has asked them to
Making love to strangers in regret
Because it helps them to forget

I can't afford that feeling anymore
To lie and wonder what you do
And who you do it for
I can't afford that feeling anymore
To know that someone holds the one
That all my love was for, you know
I can't afford that feeling
I can't afford that feeling anymore
To lie and wonder what you do
And who you do it for ...... FADE
