Lucky Me

Every night you lay down to sleep,

And think of me.

Every heart you'll ever break,

Begins and ends with me

All the times you're out with friends,

You think of me.

You want me.

You know you do.

You want me.

There's nothing you can do.

But you want me to want you more,
So you stay away.

Until you hear my knees,

Hug the floor.
Then you run to me,

Like a nun to a beggar

Claiming sanctuary.

You lift me up, you hold me,

Whisper all the right words.

You wrap your arms around me,

To remind me

Of all that delicious heat.

Then you leave,

Claiming impropriety.

Lucky me.

You laugh at all my jokes,

You call me.

Everyday, to see what I'm up to.

To hear me say I love you,
Even when I say nothing at all.

Is this how love should be?

Is this what your mother taught you?

Or is this because your father,

Is angry every time he calls you?

Every time the world makes you cry,
You call me.

Everytime you're happy,

You call me.

And then we fight.

You hang up. And I'm left feeling,

It's all gone wrong because of me.

Do you want me to stay,

Alone and unhappy?

So that loving me,

Will make you feel like a saint,

Am I to be your charity?

Lucky me.
