Maybe

Turn that "c" into a "w"

if you "could" you "would" 

you won't 

I'm not interested in what you 

might do

All I see is what 

you don't 

Is this keeping me at arm's length?

laying next to me in bed?

Telling me you're not mine

while you stroke my pretty head

You say you want to love me

but, for what is wanting, well

to want is lacking something 

the will to know

to tell 

to change the script

could love you, but

would love you, but

you don't 

could be there, 

would be there, 

but

you won't

tell me, tell me, tell me

not what I want to hear

don't pepper me with maybes

when wills cannot be clear

I see through the lacquer 

to the color beneath 

and if it isn't "yes" 

well, then it's "no"

my dear.
