Give me a day,
I will pique your curiosity,
Give me a week,
I will be one compelling mystery,
Give me a month or two,
and I will might just inspire you but,
I shouldn't stay too long unless I start to tire you out
Maybe I opened up your eyes,
But baby, here's the thing,
I will not make myself less bright so you don't have to blink,
So if you need a love to warm you up and take a turn,
Or whether you are here or not I still am gonna learn,
I don't want to be,
The apple of your eye,
The eye of your storm
I don't want to be,
Anyone's but mine any more
So what's the use in loving you,
If love's not what you crave,
I have been here before,
I know the way this scene will play,
At first you like the way the sunshine on my smile tastes,
Then suddenly you only ever kiss me in the rain,
Guess you think it's more romantic that way,
I know I make you feel so safe,
And yet you feel so free,
Cuz any second you could have all that you need from me,
Once you have learned you have learned,
All of my lessons about living,
Just give it up before you ever think of giving,
I don't want to be,
Your manic pixie fever dream,
Already did my time,
I don't want to worry,
About anybody's love but mine
I don't want to be,
The apple of your eye,
The eye of your storm
I don't want to be,
Anyone's but mine any more
