Rebound Guy I've only loved twice Once I'm not so sure about but the other I'm pretty confident That I was in love It was like staged magic What you see on the stage isn't necessarily what's happening There was stuff behind the scenes that explained all the flash and flair I've dated a lot of women in my life.... I've built up quite a resume I've dated the prettiest The nicest The sweetest The kindest The most obsessive The most mundane The best The worst The in between And the same I've built up quite a name for myself I'm known as Mr. One Night Stand I'm like a disposable poncho... I'm used as shelter for the rain And when the clouds and rain drops go away I'm thrown away, just to be found by another To help them through the storm Just an endless cycle for me Sure, I'm being used But maybe that's all I'm really good for Maybe I'm just a great rebound guy Maybe that's what I'm good at To help give back confidence and make them feel special again And when they get their fill they move on To bigger and brighter things I figure I'm a bonfire that's used to warm their hands And once their hands are warm enough they're ready to move on To that bigger camp fire and warm their entire body But sometimes... I wish I could be a blanket So they would carry me everywhere with them On all of the adventures and trips and sleep-overs they go too So I can always be there to provide them with warmth Or maybe... I'm just tired of being cold and wet For once, I'd like to be rescued from the storm and have my hands warmed For once, I'd like to be the one using instead of the one being used For once, I would just like something real A blanket of my own to carry with me And I would carry that blanket with me everywhere I would wash it when it needed to be washed And I would always sleep with it Wrap it around me and hold on tight Fight through the storm and make it together If just given the chance But then again... I don't think there is a person in this world willing to do that for me I'm always there when they need me, but when I need someone Suddenly they aren't there anymore I've been hurt too many times then I'm willing to admit My hair is so wet My hands are so cold I've run out of tears And I'm sick of being so nice Friends tell me being nice only leads the way for someone to be mean to you I'm starting to think they're right Maybe... It's just easier to close my heart And not let anyone in Close out my heart to romance LOL if I ever had it that is I dont think anyone counts one night stands as romance Remember though... If it starts to rain, and you look in the trash and you find that poncho And if you only intend to use it to shelter you from the rain And just throw it away later when the clouds are gone and the sun is up Just to get an umbrella instead Because this poncho has holes in it... I just rather be left in the trash where I belong.... Don't you think so? |
