I Can't Afford that Feeling Anymore lyrics

I used to wait for you to come around

You know I was born lonely

You took the only love I ever found

And gave it to another

I don't want to let you go

But by now, I oughtta know

I can't afford that feeling anymore

To lie and wonder what you do

And who you do it for

I can't afford that feeling anymore

To know that someone holds the one

That all my love was for, you know

I can't afford that feeling anymore

It's funny that you chose to call today

And tell me that you love me

I thought I'd finally put those thoughts away

And left the past behind me

While in my mind I can see

Just how good it used to be

I can't afford that feeling anymore

To lie and wonder what you do

And who you do it for

I can't afford that feeling anymore

To know that someone holds the one

That all my love was for, you know

I can't afford that feeling anymore

Now I know why lonely people do

Anything the night has asked them to

Making love to strangers in regret

Because it helps them to forget

I can't afford that feeling anymore

To lie and wonder what you do

And who you do it for

I can't afford that feeling anymore

To know that someone holds the one

That all my love was for, you know

I can't afford that feeling

I can't afford that feeling anymore

To lie and wonder what you do.....
