Decency Lyrics

So fresh and so new
Have you learned that all good things
Must come to an end
I should know
That to be a good lover
I must also be a good friend
Caught between
My intolerance
And your will to be everything
You were right
I know you were right
Never could believe that I would keep you down this low
And you didn't have the common sense to leave and let me go
I call the shots
But it's not enough
And you can't be who I need you to be

When I say to leave
Please leave me alone
It's just that you have nowhere else to go
On your way
To the ends of the Earth
Just to come in closer to me
What I lacked
Was this human heart
And sensitivity
Never planned
I would keep you on the floor
While I slept alone in the bed
I was wrong
Yeah I know I was wrong
Never could believe that I would keep you down this low
And you didn't have the common sense to leave and let me go
You brought me wine
The strawberry kind
All packaged with my favorite CDs
When I opened the box
Was worse than I thought
I couldn't stand you - have the decency
To call the shots
When you weren't enough
'Cause you can't be who I need you to be
When I say to leave
Please just leave me alone
It's just that you have nowhere else to go
No one could believe that I would keep you down this low
But you didn't have the common sense to leave
To leave
You brought me wine
The strawberry kind
All packaged with my favorite CDs
When I opened the box
Was worse than I thought
I couldn't stand you - have the decency
To call the shots
When you weren't enough
'Cause you can't be who I need you to be
When I say to leave
Please just leave me alone
It's just that you have nowhere else to go
