Tempted from Natural Time by Matney Cook

Tempted, I like to be tempted, I ain’t broke but I’m mended, oh come on and give me some.
Wasted, I had to stop and face it, you won’t embrace it, I ain’t the one.
They’ll be times when I try to come back and run to you, but it won’t be fair, no that can’t be good
Lonely, oh I’m not the only woman so lonely in this world.
Haunted, oh I have been haunted by those things I wanted but could not get.
Long gone to you I said so long, it wasn’t right on so now its dead
And happy ever after was just a daydream, no not the real thing, and so it goes
Goodbye I promise I won’t cry, I know you didn’t try and that’s where it ends.
Happy I thought it was to be, that we could sing harmony to the sweetest tune,
But honest I have to be honest and tell you its my guess we howled at the moon.
Hoping that you might call me sometime, that your heart would be mine, oh such a damn fool.
Sorry that you ever met me, you won’t make it easy,
I’m tempted again!
