One-Way Love

© 2009 Mark Cote

1. If you can't stand the heat, don't be playing with fire
    this is a love you'll never acquire
    sometimes it's best to leave well enough alone
    if it was meant to come back, it never would have flown

2. If you don't have the key to her heart, don't use a skeleton key
    it won't work on her it's not what she needs
    a tidal wave coldly rolls
    over hearts, leaving lonely souls

(chorus) it's a one-way love
                when she doesn't love you
                one-way love
                can never be true
                one-way love
                is more than you can take
                one-way love
                brings only heartache

3. if you are afraid of heights, stay off the high wire
    don't push for something that wasn't meant to be
    a hardened heart can never see
    the true love it really needs
(chorus)
