Lyrics

He asks me to leave, then he begs me to wait.
He jumps to his feet, then he hesitates.
One day he’s here, and the next day he’s gone,
And he calls me his dear just before he moves on.
He treats me poor when I treat him best.
I guess he loves me more when I love him less.
But he lets me catch my breath before I hold it again.

The door that he made, it locks from both sides.
My key is engraved, but my clearance denied.
One day he’s the sun, and the next he’s the storm.
And he calls me the one, just before I am scorned.
He treats me kind, but he treats me cruel.
I guess when I’m doin fine I’m just bein his fool.
He lets me catch my breath before I hold it again.

I call him my love and he calls me a liar.
When I’ve given up, he asks me to retire
Back to his room, but out of his heart again.
He calls me his babe when I feel like an orphan.
His weather, it changes every morning.
So I’m bundling up, and I’m stripping down again.

He means me no harm, but I know what that means:
I am half in his arms and half at his feet.
'Cause one day he’s a rock, and the next, he’s the wind,
And he wants it to stop, but don’t know where to begin.
He forgets my name when I call him my man,
But I am his dame when I don’t give a damn.
He lets me catch my breath before I hold it again.

He calls me his babe when I feel like an orphan.
His weather, it changes every morning.
So I’m bundling up, and I’m stripping down again.

So I’m hitting the trail, I can’t stay here no more.
I’m setting my sails, and I’m leaving this shore.
But he’s flaggin me down, and I’m watching him wave,
And I’m turning around because he asks to be saved.
I treat him poor and he treats me best.
I guess he loves me more when I love him less.
He lets me catch my breath, and then I hold it again.
And then I hold it again. And then I hold it again.
