lyrics

I'd waited so many days to see you
Wanting to hold you take you away
But from what I could collect from the evening
I was not the one that you wanted to see
I coulda sworn we had a little something
As I was walking through the day
But when you looked him in the eye I knew
That little doll was not for me

That little doll was not for me

I never wanted you to leave me out in the rain wet n cryin
I didn't know it was your intention to leave me here dyin'

Cause when you walked in the door of the house
Your voice really made me smile
As it always does when you come around
You make my soul feel oh so free
But then as you kept talking with him
I realized that it would be a while
Before I could get over the fact that
That little doll was not for me

That little doll was not for me

I never wanted you to leave me out in the rain wet n cryin
I didn't know it was your intention to leave me here dyin'

So now I'm sittin here bleeding these words out
Cause it's the only way I can
Get the pain that lies within my stomach
Out in an imperfect harmony
Soon enough you'll stroll along with him
And I will try to be the bigger man
Except every time you grin I get a little bit smaller
Than that little doll that wasn't meant for me

That little doll was not for me

I never wanted you to leave me out in the rain wet n cryin
I didn't know it was your intention to leave me here dyin'
