I see the way you treat the other guys and I just can't believe I see it in your heart and in your eyes And I can't let that be me 'Cause I've been hurt before and before long I know you'll want to leave and I'll be stuck writing another song About another relationship Gone wrong I don't wanna be a temporary I don't wanna be a temporary I don't wanna be a temporary Love Your distorted vision lies to you But it's so plain to see If you wanted, I'd take care of you But I won't be deceived So don't feed me lines that don't mean anything To you when I repeat I don't need any of the pain you bring So repeat after me: (chorus) Is this something that you do To make up for the ones who Hurt you in the past so you pass it on You have to learn to take a fall If you can ever learn at all Accept that everyone will some day be Some day be gone And then you'll be alone again I don't wanna be a temporary I don't wanna be a temporary I don't wanna be a temporary Love For you
