Picket Fences

I know you're looking for
Something you've dreamed about
I can see it in your eyes

And though I want to say
Words that will make you stay
I don't want you to be surprised

Cause baby I've been hurt one too many times
It's taken its toll on my heart
So before you start to build that dream house in your mind
I need to tell you right from the start

I am not your picket fences
I am not that kind of man
What you're looking for, I tried to be before
So don't make those kind of plans

I'll give you all I've got to give
But it's not the life you want to live
So before you buy the matching towels you should know
I'm not your picket fences

Happy ever after seemed
Such a distant dream
Until I walked into your life

Now you're looking round
For us to settle down
These words will cut you like a knife

Cause I've been down this road too many times before
I feel the scars every day
I know this may send you running for the door
But I've got something I need to say

I am not your picket fences
I am not that kind of man
What you're looking for, I tried to be before
So don't make those kind of plans

I'll give you all I've got to give
But it's not the life you want to live
So before you buy the matching towels you should know
I'm not your picket fences

Maybe you think that given time
You can find a way to change my mind
This is not my first rodeo
I'm saying things you need to know
So you won't come crashing down

I am not your picket fences
I am not that kind of man
What you're looking for, I tried to be before
So don't make those kind of plans

I'll give you all I've got to give
But it's not the life you want to live
So before you buy the matching towels you should know
I'm not your picket fences
Oh no
I'm not your picket fences
No no
I'm not your picket fences.
