Don't Want To Be Lyrics

It's the last song on the first half

Of the record I wrote for you

And I'm reminded where to put

The words you said when we fell through

I'm gonna leave you

There's things I've gotta do

And I don't need you

I'm better without having you around

What have I got left but a mixed-up chest

And a wall I can't see through

If all the dimes I had would bring you back

I'd count them up for you

There's a lineback player and an 8-ball fader

In a town that's built for two

And all the dust you left and happiness

Won't see your point of view

But now I'm leaning

To the better side of truth

And I'm just not seeing

A better man than me out there for you

I don't want to be your nightingale

I don't want to be your best is yet to come

I don't want to be your fairytale

I don't want to be your ultimatum

I don't want to be your Charlemagne

I don't want to be your one that got away

I don't want to be your ball and chain

I don't want to be your "please don't make me stay"

It's the last song on the first half

Of the record I wrote for you

And I'm reminded where to put the words

You said when we fell through
