Sensitive Subject Matter Lyrics

by Bonnie McKee

I told you I would be there for you,
A promise I intend to keep,
But the subject matter here,
Hits little too close to home,
And now I can't take back what I gave.

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e71644-bonnie_mckee~sensitive_subject_matter_lyrics.html ]
Well all the times we've seen,
The states that we've been in,
You always save me from my troubled self it seemed
But now I'm hearing all these words you say,
And I'm not sure if I can stay,
And listen to you melting all my dreams.

Baby it's you,
That kept my feet on the ground,
Thought that I could choose,
If I always wanted you around,
Darling I do,
Think we need time apart,
I still need time to mend my broken seams.

I told you I would listen to you,
So I'm all ears,
But don't ask me to respond,
To your pleads for my advice,
'Cause now I'm too burden to speak.

Baby it's you,
That kept my feet on the ground,
Thought that I could choose,
If I always wanted you around,
Darling I do,
Think we need time apart,
I still need time to mend my broken seams.

I can't be by myself,
But there is no one else,
And well it hurts to know someone else
tastes your lips,
But I cannot forget how hard I cried,
When I discovered you had lied,
When you said I could never hurt like this.

Baby it's you,
That kept my feet on the ground,
Thought that I could choose,
If I always wanted you around,
Darling I do,
Think we need time apart,
I still need time to mend my broken seams.

Well I'm weary, I'm so weary,
I told you I'd be there,
I'm broken, I'm so broken,
But I'm here.
It's painful, It's so painful,
I told you I'd be there,
These are secrets I cannot afford to hear,
Oh, these secrets I cannot afford to hear.
