if i could i would quit you
but this ain't brokeback mountain,
this is my lonely city and i've got no horse.

if i did i would ride it to your house at midnight
we'd whinny at your window and i'd ask you one more time
why you wanted to kiss me that night on the porch when i said
i was too drunk, i meant i was afraid i might cry.

i don't want to be your friend,
i want to be your lover.
i'm sorry that i fucked this up
but i still hate your mother.
i don't want to be your friend
it's just too complicated,
everyone thinks we were so cute
i think that's what you're afraid of.
