Milk & Honey

I don't think I could ever love you I don't think I could give you what you need But in the land of milk and honey You're the goal, you're the dream But why settle for just milk and honey When there's caviar, avocados, and clotted cream I don't think it'd work for me I can't be your everything Can't see myself passing on my name Call me selfish, call me insane Call me a coward, I won't complain Can't keep the what ifs out of my brain Like what if one day you woke up mean Two decades of tenderness Just to end up caring for nothing What if you fall to snake oil salesmen Split thinking Why see the world in black and white When there are beautiful hues Like cobalt blue, champagne Royal purple and olive green What if I end up hating you? What if you grow to hate me too? Then please tell me what the fuck do I do? Call me selfish, call me insane Call me a coward, I won't complain Can't keep the what ifs out of my brain Like what if you died before me? Am I supposed to just bury you and pretend to keep on living? That's the big what if that I just couldn't handle Today I'm marking your height on the wall But tomorrow you're a picture on the mantle What if What if What if What if I can't do this I can't do this What if What if What if What if I can't do this I can't do this What if What if What if What if I can't do this I can't do this What if What if What if What if I can't do this I can't do this What if What if What if What if I can't do this I can't do this What if What if What if What if I can't do this I can't do this
