Mourning through thoughts of you
My heavy heart
Can't find my way around
It's morning when it starts
You and I wanted love, somewhere down the line
(You and I) all of the things that we've been through
(Don't you know) deep down you know that I love you
(That by know) if you don't know that by now then
I might have to leave
Baby, you're telling me that I'm no good, and I don't even care
You make it so hard for me, to love you back in any way I can
Many times I am failing you, cannot give what I want you
And if you right by saying my heart is made of stone
Then I'm better of alone
Building a para-case, day by day
Leaving me paralyzed, selfish and afraid
I am not who I was, I got broken deep inside
(Make it feel) I make you feel left out alone
(All alone) you need a place you can call home
(Need a home) what if I'm finding out now
I can't do that anymore
Baby, you're telling me that I'm no good, and I don't even care
You make it so hard for me, to love you back, the only way I can
Many times I am failing you, cannot give what I want you
And if you right by saying my heart is made of stone
Then I'm better of alone
(I'm trying so hard to be the one that you think I should stay)
But it doesn't work that way
(I'm trying so hard to be the one that you think I should stay)
But I am so afraid, hey, so afraid, so afraid, baby, oeehh
Baby you're telling me that I'm no good and I don't even care
You make it so hard for me to love you back in any way I can
