There's No Persuasion

seems no persuasion'll stop you from loving me
but it's too invasive and is now all above me
you're smothering me with all kinds of kindness
and I'm sure taking less time for your needs

you're still requiting despite my having told you
I'm no longer finding it within in me to remind you
silence should be indication this relation is winding
on and on too long and we should have stopped it

some time ago, why's it letting go is a chore
like love's a scab that you pick at and can't ignore
well babe, the wound'll stay sore unless you leave it
time only soothes and let's doors open once you bereave
