Fickle

Yes momma you were right
I'm fickle, I'm a complicated son of a b!tch
SIMPLICITY! SIMPLICITY! SIMPLICITY!
Is what I demand
Don't complicate things girl, I'll run
Leaving a "Jon shaped" hole through your door
Don't flirt with me too long, I'll get bored
Need to keep the boat rowing is what I say
So if you're going to make a move on me do it already
Or else I'll leave looking for someone who is a little braver than you
If you want me to be your man, show me
If you don't and your looking for fun,
I'm willing to play
Just tell me and I'll understand
My love can be as good as those love songs
Sometimes better..
But I'm not here to fill any gaps
If you want me because you need me
Then leave me
I rather be wanted than needed
And don't quietly think to yourself that you're the one that got away
I'M THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY...not you
Don't ever ask me how I feel about you
I believe words can never transcribe feelings accurately
So if you can't feel how I feel about you
Then you aren't going to be the one for me
I'm a really nice guy once you get to know me
But if you don't bother to try then forget you
You were probably too sensitive...you need a hug
But once I let you in I'll be sweeter than candy to you
I know where I want to be in my life
And I'll do anything to get there
That is my first priority...to fulfill my dreams, and no you aren't part of it
You can either hate, worship, admire, or love that part of me
Because I'm determined to get where I want
As soon as I want
And when I want something
You better believe I'll get it
And if I want you
You better believe I'll get you too
Don't say you don't care expecting me to suddenly care for you
Because I won't
If you don't care then I wont either
I'll care when I feel like caring
The only person in my life that matters more to me than myself is
Who I'm going to be in five years
But if you're skillful enough to get past my shortcomings
...And my pride...
I'll offer you a love you can't find anywhere else
A love so true angels speak of it in legends of lore
I can be the one you secretly ask for
I can be the one you want
I can offer you space and time
If you're just willing to try
Yes, I'm fickle...
But if you give "us" a chance
I'll take you by the hand
And never let go...
