beggar

I will not stand like a beggar at your door
Knowing you won't let me in
I will not stand like a beggar at your door
I will not do it anymore
I wasn't looking any further than I could see
Kept no plans in front of me
But you were more than I'd ever hope to find
Perfect beauty, sinner's soul and one deep dark mind
But I hung too dearly on every word you'd say
Caught every crumb you threw my way
Guess desperation never suit me very well
Is it too late to save myself? I just can't tell
I will not stand like a beggar at your door
Knowing you won't let me in
I will not stand like a beggar at your door
I will not do it anymore
Your right hand pulls me closer then your left one shoves me back
I spin, I trip and then I fall and you just laugh
You'd think by now I'd learn to read the signs
No Trespass on a welcome mat means just that
I will not stand like a beggar at your door
Knowing you won't let me in
I will not stand like a beggar at your door
I will not do it anymore
