I’m Your Babe, Not Your Baby
 
Sting of your words still lingers.
Tears on my sleeves don’t dry.
Beg to hold me one more time.
I pull away, but give in.
Don’t ask me why.
 
I’m your babe, not your baby.
I’m your love, not no or maybe.
If I’m wrong, don’t tell me how.
I’ll be out the door, leaving now.
 
Our jealousy crashes and collides,
Sets our emotions to ignite.
Slam the door, and turn around.
We’re all about makeups,
But better at fights.
 
We go in circles, spinning ‘round.
Shouting anger, wasted sound.
Then we’re calm, but it won’t last.
I know you inside-out,
I’ve lived our past.
 
I’m your babe, not your baby.
I’m your future, not no or maybe.
If I’m wrong, don’t tell me how.
I’ll be out the door, leaving now.
 
You lean in close to kiss my lips.
Make a promise for a change.
Not sure what to feel or believe.
But being away from you,
Would open this cage.
 
We’ve gone through this so many times, I forgot how many.
Each one feels the same, I’m so damn tired already.
 
I’m your babe, not your baby.
And you’re mine, not no or maybe.
If I’m wrong, don’t tell me how.
I’ll be out the door, leaving now.
 
I’m out the door, I’m leaving now. Leaving now.
