He came to me on his knees again
He tried to pretend that it was yesterday
I had to say "I'm so sorry friend, go look for yourself
stop looking for me"
He came with gifts and pretty words for me
He tried to kiss me and be my man
I'm not the treasure he thinks he's lost and found
He'll find it when he stops looking for me
This love has not been handled with care
It's damaged and deserted us
I'm not his salvation
I haven't got the strength to be a life raft
