about

Lessons can be learned from witnessing breakups and divorces. A reworking of track 1 from my EP Lightning Eyes (2015).

lyrics

Love is not a foregone conclusion
Love is not written in the stars
It's not just a matter of three words
It's sweet, and it's got to have heart
Whoah, oh whoah, oh whoah, a oh
So when you pack your bags and you leave here
Hesitate before you walk out the door
Is this my destiny? Should I question it?
What do I want him for?
Whoah-oh, whoah-oh, whoah-oh, a oh

You can't bank your hopes on a person
You can't assume that you know best
'Cause when you rely on adoration
It'll always be put to the test
Beware of the smile that glitters
Beware of the want of your own
And don't try to turn a human
A human being into your home
Into your home

Whoah-oh, into your home
Whoah-oh, into your home

Why bother having a husband?
And why bother being his wife?
It'll never live up to your own expectations
If you let him define your life
Love is not a box to check off
Love is on a To-Do List
You don't want to be caught at the end of a phone
Wondering what all you missed

You can't bank your hopes on a person
You can't assume that you know best
'Cause when you rely on adoration
It'll always be put to the test
Beware of the smile that glitters
Beware of the want of your own
And don't try to turn a human
A human being into your home
Into your home
