Easy Queen - This Not That Lyrics

This, but not that
Well, something is better than nothing
But that something just leaves me cold
The contradiction is all-consuming
'Cause I thought I needed you to be whole
Still I open the door, and I hope you come in
You brought yourself here, but now you hesitate again

This, but not that
And this meager attention left me wanting more
So I future trip, hope and anticipate
But now I feel so much worse than I did before
Still I opened my heart, and invited you in
But you stood in the doorway, and hesitated again

This, but not that
One shall not assume that this follows that when there is no logical connection
Just give me something ill-fated to hold on to
So I can briefly reject your rejection
We both know so much better, still I won't resist
Why bother, it's hopeless, sealed with a very fake kiss
