The Blood & The Bones

All you are is temporary

Can’t dig heels into mud

I tried to latch

Maybe to attach

You can’t grow roots in sand

Not with this man

No, he’s just a part time love

And I wonder

Where would we have been

If tomorrow could’ve come

But I think he’s holding an empty gun

And I’m a target for the taking

With his eyes set on another prize

Because I’m just a part time love

So, I won’t stick around

And play the part

Won’t beg for full time rights

He never saw me as a thing to keep

Not a girl worth a fight

Let’s not play the game

Or waste the time

I’m not crazy, I’m just right

Because you’re a man

Afraid of really showing up

Yeah, you’re just

A part time love
