Yaki Margulies Lyrics - I Don't Want to Feel This Way (Again)

Yaki Margulies - I Don't Want to Feel This Way (Again)

Every action is measured now
Against the specters of this one-ghost town
And we’re all just losing heat these days
A thousand burnt-out suns drifting through space
Fated to fade
I was walking down the street in the noonday sun
Just singing John Hiatt’s Tip of My Tongue
And openly weeping as the cars drove by
And I would have found it funny if I weren’t mid-cry
But I knew I’d never be back
So I stopped first at the place with the really cheap gas
And then I drove by your window one last time
But I couldn’t see in ‘cause you’d drawn the blinds
I don’t want to feel this way again
And I don’t want to be alone
And you were just what I was hoping for
But you, you’re just fine on your own
You don’t need me
You thought I'd be all used up
A giving tree with a beggar's cup
And you said we couldn't go on this way
That I could stay the night then leave the next day
Fated to fade
On our last date you showed up an hour late
You said I've got my dog at home so I can't stay
Then we walked around a store that only sold hot sauce
And you seemed kind of distant and I felt kind of lost
Then I didn't hear from you for some time
But then you said let's do lunch, so I thought we were fine
But then you asked had I met anybody new, and I said, No, 'cause I thought that I had met you
I don’t want to feel this way again
And I don’t want to be alone
And you were just what I was hoping for
But you, you’re just fine on your own
You don’t want me
You don’t need me
The acts of kindness that you showed me
Were deceiving
Oh, darling, I’m weak when I’m on my own
Oh, darling, I think that I need you so
I don’t want to feel this way again
And I don’t want to be alone
And you were just what I was hoping for
But you, you’re just fine on your own
We can receive love and still not be healed
It’s our broken off pieces that we want to feel (but they’re scattered)
Every good love song is a little bit sad
It’s the things left imperfect that we understand (and I’m sorry)
