I left you for another day
To waste my younger days away
Now every time I call you don't pick up
I made you work so hard that when I ran away you ran right out of love
But I met a girl she said stay for dinner
I think I might stay the winter
Come on in let's shut the door
She's giving me a little and I'm always wanting more
Always wanting more
It's taking up my time
Spending up my life
But you know I'll never learn
She told me that her heart was in pieces
Thought my love was what she needed
I fixed her up and she walked on out the door
She ran straight to another man
Now I can't stand to see her anymore
Oversized and over kind
The love I had for her was blind
To every sign she sent my way
Now I don't gotta worry bout making someone's day
Including my own
It's taking up my time
Spending up my life
Baby you know I never learn
I just light it up to watch it burn
Well the lonely nights they sure are free
And freedoms all I need until it hurts
My house caught on fire today
And all the neighbors had to say
Was why'd you have to go and wake us up
We watched until the roof came down
Then fell right back to sleep under the dust
