The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Here I am again

Doing things I saId that I wouldn't do

It's 3 am and I'm rushing out the door to see you

(see you, see you, see you)

Waiting (waiting) all day (all day)

But now you wanna call me

Why do (why do)

You do this to me all the time

After all the things you put me through

Ooh still I come right back

But now I know the truth

I can finally see

You only want me when you're lonely (lonely)

If I say I'm gonna leave

That's the only time you want me (want me)

Next time you need me there I won't make it

Another late night call I won't take it

Cos now I finally see

You only want me when you're lonely

Only when you're lonely, lonely

Only when you're lonely

Only when you're lonely, lonely

Only when you're lonely

Had me fooled from the start

And I quickly gave my heart

Cos I love you, love you, love you

But this is what happens when you're a lonely girl

With no one to touch you (touch you, touch you)

Now I'm stronger don't need you any longer

So get off your knees

Your words don't mean anything

After all the things you put me through

Ooh still I come right back

But now I know the truth

I can finally see

You only want me when you're lonely (lonely)

If I say I'm gonna leave

That's the only time you want me (want me)

Next time you need me there I won't make it

Another late night call I won't take it

Cos now I finally see

You only want me when you're lonely

Oh nothing's ever changing

Decisions you can't make it

You just think of yourself

And never me at all

If you're with your friend

You just leave me alone

But I won't allow it anymore

So it's stuck on me to move on

Cos I can finally see

You only want me when you're lonely (lonely)

If I say I'm gonna leave

That's the only time you want me (want me)

Next time you need me there I won't make it

Another late night call I won't take it

Cos now I finally see

You only want me when you're lonely

Only when you're lonely, lonely

Only when you're lonely

Only when you're lonely, lonely

Only when you're lonely

I can finally see

You only want me when you're lonely (lonely)

If I say I'm gonna leave

That's the only time you want me (want me)

Next time you need me there I won't make it

Another late night call I won't take it

Cos now I finally see

You only want me when you're lonely
