“I love you and I’ll spend my life with you…unless that special one/ex ever wants to get back together and then it’s over”
Weird Al’s “Good Enough For Now” comes to mind.
Meat Loaf’s “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad”?
“Two out of Three Ain’t Bad” by Meat Loaf is kind of close, but maybe not quite there. His heart definitely belongs to an ex, but he’ll stay with the subject of the song as long as she can live with the fact that there ain’t no way he’s ever gonna love her.
Leonard Cohen’s “Waiting for the Miracle”, perhaps.
Ah, baby, let’s get married
We’ve been alone too long
Let’s be alone together
Let’s see if we’re that strong
Oh, let’s do something crazy
Something absolutely wrong
While we’re waiting for the miracle
For the miracle to come
Roy Orbison’s Running Scared is that song seen from the other side, about always being terrified that your partner is going to leave with his or her One True Love.
No but I’m a songwriter and I’ve had a bit of writer’s block lately. This might help.
When I’m not near the girl I love
I love the girl I’m near

And if you can’t be with the one you love honey
Love The One You’re With
