Wreck
Emily Hearn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I have got to stop thinking that maybe if I was different I'd have you)
‘Cause I am through with you
(But I'm not over you)
Patience, how I need it when I'm waiting for you, pining for you
And maybe that's no tragedy at all
‘Cause I don't need you darling
I've been so afraid of wanting you
But I'm free from longing after you
(I'm longing after you and)
I've been a wreck I have been such a fool
But I am through with you
(But I'm not over you)
Keep it to yourself my dear
(I have something to say)
I tell you, I don't wanna hear it
Your romance doesn't woo me
(To have you)
Remember when you threw me out
(I have to)
I can't believe you're coming back for more
(I'm coming back for more)
I don't need you darling
I've been so afraid of wanting you
But I'm free from longing after you
(I'm longing after you and)
I've been a wreck I have been such a fool
But I am through with you
(But I'm not over you, no)
I was thinking about love today
(Thinkin' about it)
wondering am I ever gonna be ok with
(Love, love, love, love)
The never ever ending give and take
‘Cause I don't need you darling
(I need you baby)
I've been so afraid of wanting you
(You know I've been wanting you)
But I'm free from longing after you
(I'm longing after you and)
I've been a wreck I have been such a fool
But I am through with you
(But I'm not over you)
I have got to stop thinking that maybe If I was different
