My Well Runs Deeper

I have known some girls
All along my short lived way
Even called some love
Then it hit me on the head one day
Love is like a well
It can only ever run so deep
And anybody with two eyes could tell
That mine was dry and then they’d always say to me
My well just runs deeper than yours
My well just runs deeper than yours
I can tell that the feeling is forced
And my well just runs deeper than yours

I ran along with that in mind
And I swore that I would be more kind
And listen to the quiet flow
Of the water in the pool below
Cause it’s tough to say you got a dried up spring
But I didn’t think that I could bear to hear them sing
My well just runs deeper than yours
My well just runs deeper than yours
I can tell that the feeling is forced
And my well just runs deeper than yours

You came along just a sweet young thing
And I never ever thought it would be more than just a fling
Who would have thought that the well inside
Would grow much stronger than an ocean’s tide
My well just runs deeper than yours
My well just runs deeper than yours
I can tell that the feeling is forced
And my well just runs deeper than yours
I see it every time you sigh
Wishing yours had not run dry
And you’re trying to believe that it grows a million leagues
My well just runs deeper than yours
My well just runs deeper than yours
I can tell that the feeling is forced
And my well just runs deeper than yours
