You're so good
   at the words
      that keep me hanging on.

Never quite promising
   never quite denying
      never quite saying.

You're so good
   at making me believe
      in fairy tale endings.

At making me fight
   at making me dream
      at making me hope.

You're so good
   at keeping me trying
      one more day.

Without ever meaning
   without ever wanting
      without ever caring.

You're so good
   but what good does that do?
      When I quit believing?

You know a long time ago, I loved the tv show "Bewitched" and I actually believed that woman could twitch her nose and make the house clean! I still want to believe that, Paula, you are the best....so keep on believing.

I've often thought that it takes me longer to learn this kind of lesson, than most people but when I do finally figure out that I'm being played, it's like you said so well...

You're so good
   but what good does that do?
      When I quit believing?
