i used to wait for you to come around
you know i was born lonely
you took the only love i'd ever found
and gave it to another
i don't want to let you go
but by now i ought'a 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
