THE WOMAN I LOVE

It’s a defining moment
Another note telling me of her panic attack
It’s a misty morning
The woman I love doesn’t love me back

It’s a day of revelation
I look at the words, saying she’s not where I’m at…
Eloquent excuses the woman I love doesn’t love me back

Chorus

And I try so hard to make her happy
There must be a quality I lack
But you can’t force love from any heart
And the woman I love doesn’t love me back

It’s a day for cool reflection
Things are clearer when you see them in white and black
It’s a time for sorrow
The woman I love doesn’t love me back

Bridge

And I suppose it’s time to fold my tent
To connect the dots, see what she meant
I need to clear my head in the open air
I need to feel the wind, I need to go somewhere

It’s a day to drive the back roads
Counting one by one the American flags
It’s a day of sorrow
The woman I love doesn’t love me back

Chorus

I say the woman I love doesn’t love me back
I say the woman I love doesn’t love me back
