Rushing fate with no place to go
letting my emotions take control
I'd do anything to make this real but I can't on my own
my loyalty in vain causing so much pain to let go

see I've been loving him wrong
accepting the pain all as my own
one and only love I've loved the most
oh and now my heart can't take no more

Shackles on my feet with no hand to hold
selfless defeat win this battle alone
fruitless tree, this seed planted light years ago
still i'm yet to see the love I need for what I'm worth

These days it's so hard to find love
one to warm you up, these days
no wonder we jump like it could never hurt, though it always does
These days, seems a man don't need a woman
These days, seems a woman don't love a man

A man'll climb a mountain, as he should
sail across an ocean like he could
a man would do anything for the trust you've got in me
but pastures so secure can't allure him in his years of immaturity

see now, I am loving me first
he's still got some bridges to burn
he thinks I'm weak I know I'm strong
though he's too blind to see at all

i could weep in this life's unfair
or take this opportunity to bloom
fruit-bearing forest all of my own
soon I won't be needing you, I won't be needing you

These days it's so hard to find love
one to warm you up, these days
no wonder we jump like it could never hurt, though it always does
These days, seems a man don't need a woman
These days, seems a woman don't love a man
I'll never understand
These days, seems a man don't love a woman
These days, seems a woman don't need a man
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
I'll never understand
