A Glutton For Punishment

​

Why on earth do I do this
Wear my heart on my sleeve
I fell in love with our one kiss
And now you are going to leave
I put my lonely life in your care
You spun my head around 
But all I do now is sit and stare
For you're nowhere to be found.

​

I'll search for you in the strangest places
Not a stone will I leave unturned
To seek you out from all of the faces
Another rejection, a lover spurned
What is it with me, that makes it so easy
To fall in love and to fail yet again
How can you tell me, you don't love me
How could you leave me with all this pain

​

Why is it over, what went wrong?
Come home, my lover and stay
Why are our faces so sad and so long
Come back my darling I pray
Come home my love, we'll work it out
Let's give it just one more try
Forever to cast aside our doubts
And no longer shall we cry

​

Let's turn this sadness back on itself
I know your hurting like me
Let's put the anger back on the shelf
Neither of us wants this to be
I think we both should start again
Without pride getting in our way
So together we can restrain
Good loving from going astray

​

But alas I know that love is gone
Maybe never to return
You and I no longer belong
But yet for you, I still yearn
If you were ever to change your mind
It sure is plain to see
That in the end, you will find
A glutton for punishment, that's me
