Human Nature

Human Nature 

(1-14-03) 

I’ve been lonely before, I will be again 

The tears have been shed, I’ve dried my eyes. 

The pain has diminished, I can finally see. 

I thought I wanted you, I really wanted love. 

I picked you out of the crowd, set my sights on you, 

Decided you were the one for me, though I wasn’t for you 

If only I had waited, if only I had seen. 

I never should have told you, now it is too late. 

I’ve made things change, they will never go back 

Your friendship is all I want, too late now I see 

The laws of nature are the cause, the reason for my ways. 

What I wanted, I could not have 

Human Nature demands it, no one is immune 

What I want now, I fear I have lost 

That is my only regret, to lose your friendship
