Don't want to be your half love, baby
Your half flame flickering out on your broken stove
Don't want to stay and wait around 'til morning
To hear you call my name and pound at my back door
Don't want to watch a fire when it's dying
That half flame flickering out as the smoke it climbs
Don't want to see you wander, see you roaming
See you halfway out the door as you say goodbye
Oh, I've been down that one-way road
Now I see where it goes
I've tasted your blues
And I've had enough of those
Don't want to watch the sun shine as it's sinking down
That half flame flickering out as the dark it grows
Don't want to hear your engine sputter and leave this town
See you halfway up the hill from here below
Oh, I've been down that one-way road
Now I know better than before
I can't watch a man half-love me anymore
