I've been in this place many times before

With my baby's things among my shoes and strings and clothes

But just because I'm here

Don't mean I can't run out that door

Ain't that what those running shoes are for?



Baby likes to sleep on floor boards bare

And just to keep the peace, well I join her there

And she might say to me

'A better man I can't recall'

But what I think she sees ain't me at all



It ain't me at all to need somebody

Like some lovestruck casualty

It ain't me at all to feel so ready

To be what I think she sees



Baby claims I kiss like I really care

Well, I guess I'd say I don't but the truth ain't fair

And sometimes she looks at me and says

'Babe, my heart just stalled',

But what I think she sees ain't me at all.
