Unrequited

he had all kind of reasons
 why she was unable to love him
 she was just too young
 she was too high strung
 she was afraid of commitment
 but all of the theories
 that he recited
 played like the song
 of the unrequited
 baby, how long's it been now
 since you held me to your chest
 and told me that you love me
 more than all the rest
 it's such a shame that you won't talk to me
 cuz i won't repeat after you
 i believe that there is more to life
 we coulda loved each other through
 but i was afraid of commitment
 when it came to you
 i'll tell you, if there is one instinct
 i just can't get with at all
 it's the urge to kill something beautiful
 just to hang it on your wall
 are you just too young
 are you too high strung
 to actually follow through
 on all the love you said you had
 baby i never lied to you
 is all or nothing
 the best we can do?
