Manic Romantic

Guess it's always the way
When you are not beside me I'm beside myself
Just the way that you play ya know
How you'd be rocks and I'd be paper
Smotherin' you till you can hardly breath,
And then you leave
But I wasn't through

Oh I'm a manic romantic
And my sentimental drug is you
Oh I'm a manic romantic
And I know no other loves gonna do

Asking not only of myself
I could not take you where you would not go
If you won't look for answers
And deny the presence of the question
Sacrificing all we once held dear to hold your fear
What'dya go and do

Call me crazy call me depressed
 Love junky hopeless, codependent
You're right I know you're right
He matters more to me than I do to myself
And I just hear his name and here I go again

Chorus

Margaret Owens 1994
