One Man


And all her hopes and dreams
She'll give to just one man
Like those Disney princesses
And women of folklore did before
And she'll cry and fall apart
When he don't come through
But then she'll pick herself up
And face the mirror long enough to reset her makeup

All that time wasted
All that time wasted
All that time wasted
On just one man

She's standing outside of the bar
Looking for his car
His promises are like glass
Fragile and easily broken
But she'll push it all aside
Breathe in, set her face in disguise
She can feel all the lies creeping up
From her belly to her smile

Well it's all that I can give
I know time is pressing down
But I need to live, this is my own heart, I'm breaking now

And my heart well it breaks with every drunken fling
It's a lie, through clenched teeth
"It's just a casual thing"
And biology is starting to get the best of me
Well my face is showing new lines
And my body is showing me all the signs
