Verse 1:
Well, I was never less than perfectly happy without you. And I was never more inclined to stay on my own. But I guess the best surprises come when you're not looking. 'Cause I was dying, but I never would've known. See, there's a problem with this house that I've constructed, Fashioned carefully rom all the strongest stones. 'Cause I see cracks upon the walls I've never noticed. Ignore the crumbling, as I try to live alone.

Chorus:
And I said, Love is such a weakness, and it's better not to fall. And I'll admit - it's satisfying to pretend that I am strong. You know, no one has accused me of not trying to know it all, But I'm finding that I've never been so wrong - For everyone but you.

Verse 2:
There's a warm day once a week when winter's ending, bringing little hints of summer yet-to-come. Just liek those times when we're together that it's tempting to take your hand instead of turn and run. See, I could talk all night about how I'm so happy, But I'd be wasting words on things just halfway true. If real contentment is a constant, then I wonder why I often wish that I were holding you.

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
And you can call it what you want, and write it off as just temptation. Wear the single life, and dress it to the nines. But those sweet freedom berries make a bitter glass to drink, When there's no one there to share with you the wine.
