Song Lyrics

I was looking for love that I'd heard about
People said I found it when he came around
Can you be swept off your feet
If you're not on solid ground?
They said you'll grow to love him
If you don't love him now

If he gave me a reason
I could get up and leave
And if I could only cry
Then maybe I could feel
I wish I could blame him
For me wanting to be free
But in our lonely bed
I'll choose this good man
Over me

He's everything they said he'd be
And I wish that were enough
When you settle it's not compromise
It's comfort over love
We sit in separate rooms
I've let go of what's not fair
I lose myself in long ago
While he plays solitaire

If he gave me a reason
I could get up and leave
And if I could only cry
Then maybe I could feel
I wish I could blame him
For me wanting to be free
But in our lonely bed
I'll choose this good man
Over me

Who am I to think that I
Could hold what's in my dreams?
And how long do you wait
For the one that's meant to be?
At night, I lie longing
For what ifs and could have beens
And pretend that he's the one I love
And that I'm
A good woman

If he gave me a reason
I could get up and leave
And if I could only cry
Then maybe I could feel
I wish I could blame him
For me wanting to be free
But in our lonely bed
I'll choose this good man, good man
He's a good man
Over me

Good man
Good man
Good man
