Dont choose me because i am faithful

Dont choose me because i am kind

If your heart settles on me

Im for the taking

Take me for longing, or leave me behind



I would be for you a fire in a rainstorm

i would be for you an opening door

Time and hard lessons

Are one kind of wisdom

Try to forget them, or love me no more



Im not asking your heart to believe me

Im not asking for promise or pledge

Whatever the answer

Its yes thats the question

I am the fool, dancing over the edge



Dont choose me because i am faithful

Dont choose me because i am kind

If your heart settles on me

Im for the taking

Take me for longing, or leave me behind
