The Admirer

It’s easier for him to love you from a distance
Cause he’ll never know your quirks and flaws
He won’t see you day after day
as you and I struggle to find our way
He’s just hooked on how it all was

You have an admirer, he’s told you over the phone
To me, it looks as if he’s thrown you a bone
And he’s just lonely, he can’t meet the right one
But that’s his problem cause we ain’t done

You see,
It’s easier for him to love you from a distance
Cause he’ll never know your quirks and flaws
He won’t see you night after night
as you turn off that bedside light
and how you’re dealing with menopause

So your dear admirer, he’ll plead and he’ll beg
you to leave me but it’ll cost an arm and leg
Oh, don’t you consider his proposals to you
unless you really want us to be through

You see,
It’s easier for him to love you from a distance
To admire you for things he doesn’t see
He doesn’t know all the stuff we’ve been doing
Or how much you matter to me
He doesn’t know how much we’ve bonded now
or at what lengths I’ll go to not set you free
