Peter Elkas - My Well Runs Deeper Lyrics

I have known some girls
All along my short lived way
I even called some love
Then it hit me on the head one day

Love is like a well
It could 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 waters 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
