People Are So Fickle Lyrics

Ohh, baby, baby, please
I feel an urgent need to apologize
I did a terrible thing in a terrible dream
And now I can't look you in the eyeIt started, we were out on a date and you turned to say
I gotta tell you something odd
I know I said we'd get married but I'm already married
And that's when you laughed so hardSo I turned and swung
I woke up in a shock
Nails digging blood
From the base of my palmsBecause people are so fickle
They fall in love at different angles
Really I could lose you
Just as quickly as I've gotten youAnd that's the kind of thought that makes me nervous
And worried if you'll really think I'm worth it
When the rush wears off
And you're left with this busted personBut if you tell me you will, I will do what I can to believe itSo baby, all these things that I've seen
Last night while asleep
This morning, they're messing with me

And now I'm anxious as hell and looking for helpSomething placid and painless
Some story to tell
With a through line of calm
That could stop me from being myself'Cause all I think is how I wanna be your fever
Just to know I make you heated
'Cause I worry you might see me more like a blanketWho's there for comfort and for cover
From the glare of former lovers
All that passion that kissed you and bit you till you were devoured
And I'd like to get better 'cause thinking like this is tortureAnd if I can't stop it you'll get sick of bearing crosses
And you'll jump to cut your losses
You'll go get quarantined somewhere far from me
Where it's much less dangerousMaybe if I wake up and quit dreaming
I can shake the shit I'm fearing
And I can feel I could just
Freaking out for no good reasonsTell you what, it's a line I can cross
Once I get there, I'm not ever leaving
