A Little Bit Of Sunshine

It's no mystery why I fell into you But part of me would always hesitate  I always felt like I was an acquired taste That only a few could appreciate But that's not all it takes to make A relationship work Your mind may get confused Your heart befuddled But part of you always knew The part that was whole and only told the truth That there is so much more out there for you  I never liked how you looked at women Like pieces to a puzzle you couldn't solve Collectibles to cover your lack of resolve Assets to boost your self worth Salves to soothe the burns of your last attempts at love The real mystery is how I hid the truth From myself for so long You were always nice, but all wrong for me You never made me laugh or sang me songs You were like a prize I wanted to prove I'd won I can't think of a single thing I liked about you Except that you were the kind of person who might like me That’s all it was I wanted to crawl into you so I could see what you saw But it was me ...
