lyrics

Girl it's not fair to blame me for the kind of love that you attract
You share your heart so easy, but I hold it then you steal it back
You can't expect me to heal you, I never promised to make you whole
It's not my job to fix you, its not my job to mend your heart.

It's not my job to fix you, its not my job to make you whole.
It's not my job to fix you, I don't wanna lose control.

The promises you kept, you never kept them quite enough
Now I'm sittin on the front steps talking to my best friends about giving up
You know I never liked those words, they always seemed far too drastic
But I didn't think about you once last night, and god, that was fantastic.

I don't think I can fix you. i don't think I can make you whole.
God, I don't wanna fix you. I don't wanna lose control.
