This Not That

This, but not that Well, something is better than nothing But that something just leaves me cold The contradiction is all-consuming 'Cause I thought I needed you to be whole Still I open the door, and I hope you come in You brought yourself here, but now you hesitate again This, but not that And this meager attention left me wanting more So I future trip, hope and anticipate But now I feel so much worse than I did before Still I opened my heart, and invited you in But you stood in the doorway, and hesitated again This, but not that One shall not assume that this follows that when there is no logical connection Just give me something ill-fated to hold on to So I can briefly reject your rejection We both know so much better, still I won't resist Why bother, it's hopeless, sealed with a very fake kiss
