Anyone Like You
There won't be anyone like you
In my life again
Someone who always tells the truth
Lies would suffice instead
And who am I supposed to call
To tell me what to do?
You say I shouldn't care at all
When I'm feeling blue
That's not to say that you're a queen
Who's never nice and always mean
I would rather risk a fight
Than ever have to say goodbye
There won't be anyone like you
When you go away
Someone who'd rather calm than stew
And live another day
And who will always let me know
When I'm looking good
And just as soon will tell me so
When I might improve
That's not to say that you're a king
Who's never sweet or nurturing
But I would rather risk a fight
Than ever have to say goodbye
How will I go on, waiting to hear your voice when it's gone?
What will I conclude? Feelings may fade, but a heart bleeds
There won't be anyone like you after we have parted
One so practical and shrewd, some might say hardhearted
But who would always let it slide when others held so firm
You never let it hurt your pride when words were less than warm
That's not to say that you're a fool
Who's never kind and always cruel
But I would rather risk a fight than ever have to say goodbye
There won't be anyone like you
