I know he'd be all over me
If only I was someone else
Or at least if I could stuff my fear into a drawer
Shove my nervousness out the door
He knows I'm weak
Can't start a fight
Can't hold my ground
Control myself
Or sleep at night
And he comes around now and then
Just to show me that's the one who starts the game
And he's the one who ends it
Whenever it's convenient for him
Even if he sucks me in
Sometimes he's near
Sometimes he's gone
He knows I love it
Knows I want more
But plays the game just to hurt me
And its not even war
I swear he'd be all over me
Like I'd be all over him
If only I was somebody else
And could only let him in
