If I say I want to be your lover
And then I pull away when you turn down the covers
You say I don’t talk to you enough
I say, “fuck you” like it's making love

I can see how a man might get the wrong impression

If I say, “I want you, please defend me”
And then I’m punching at your heart so you get angry
I break down when you won’t save me from you
Then I make you save me from myself again

I can see how a man might get the wrong impression

When I meet your eyes, I don’t know what I see
It used to be love, it used to be love
I know my home’s still here, it’s where I wanna be, love
‘Cause I need love, but I flee love, its still me, love
Do you still see love when you see me, love?

I tell you, you can keep your secrets here
And then I fall asleep when you try to tell me, dear
I run whenever trust might be required
How is it you don’t feel the old desire?

I can see how a man might get the wrong impression

If I say I love you like that
But I no longer kiss you right back
And there’s a line that forms for my attention
And every day your name’s the last one to be mentioned

I can see how a man might get the wrong impression
