Sensitive Subject Matter

Bonnie McKee

I told you I'd there for you

A promise I intend to keep

But the subject matter hits

A little too close to home

And now I can't take back what I gave



With all the times we've seen

The states that we've been in

You always saved me from my troubled self, it seemed

But now I'm hearing all these words you say

And I'm not sure if I can stay

And listen to you melting all my dreams



Baby it's you that kept my feet on the ground

Thought that I could choose

If I always wanted you around

Darling, I do think we need time apart

I still need time to mend my broken seams



I told you I'd listen to you

So I'm all ears

But don't ask me to respond

To your pleas for my advice

'Cause now I'm too burdened to speak



Baby it's you that kept my feet on the ground

Thought that I could choose

If I always wanted you around

Darling, I do think we need time apart

I think the time has come for me to go



I can't be by myself

But there is no one else

And well it hurts to know someone else tastes your lips

(It hurts to know someone else tastes your lips)



But I cannot forget how hard I cried

When I'd discovered you had lied

When you said I could never hurt like this



Baby it's you that kept my feet on the ground

I thought that I could choose

If I always wanted you around

Darling, I do think that we need time apart

And I think the time has come for me to go



'Cause I'm weary, I'm so weary

I told you I'd be there

I'm broken I'm so broken

But I'm here

It's painful, it's so painful

I told you I'd be there

These are secrets I cannot afford to hear

These are secrets I cannot afford to hear
