I used to wait for you to come around
Know I was born lonely
You took the only love I'd ever found
Gave it to another
I don't want to let you go
But my mind ought to know
I can't afford that feeling anymore
Tonight I wonder
Who should be who it'd be for
I can't afford that feeling anymore
To know that someone holds the road
That all my love was for

You see
I can't afford that feeling anymore
It's funny that you chose to call today
You tell me that you love me
I thought I'd finally put these thoughts away
Left the past behind me
While in my mind I can see
Just how good it used to be
But I can't afford that feeling anymore
Tonight I wonder
Who should be who it'd be for
I can't afford that feeling anymore
To know that someone holds the road
That all my love was for

You see
I can't afford that feeling anymore
Now I know why lonely people do
Anything the night has asked them to
They can love with strangers in their bed
Because and help them to forget
I can't afford that feeling anymore
Tonight I wonder
Who should be who it'd be for
I can't afford that feeling anymore
To know that someone holds the road
That all my love was for
You see
I can't afford that feeling anymore
