Lyrics
History
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.
I watch you, while you're asleep
The one time I ever feel at ease
I got you, I know your game
It don't mean that I know how to play.
What's wrong? We didn't fight.
Just wish I could climb inside your trusted mind
Where do you really go?
If someone has the answer, could you let me know?
And through all our history
The man is a mystery
He takes what he wants from me
And leaves what he don't alone
Well, I'd rather walk away
Pretend that it's all okay
Then ask Mr. Cool to stay
The man's in a world alone?
It's over now, I've thrown the towel, can't work it out
Tried so hard, but in the end, there's too much doubt
And I was on my knees when he left me at the door
Strugglin' to pick my broken heart off the floor
A heart so cold, the truth unfolds, I can't say no
Why can't I turn my back and just let it go?
Done all I can to understand why it wasn't right
But I'm the one who cries in the night
So I won't be back
Standing as your trophy
Just like you own me
At least I know that
I've given my everything
Down to this song I sing
But your cold heart's no friend of mine
You're thrillin' me, you're killin' me
And I've been waiting all this time
And I...
I can't change this sorry song
You're makin' me, you're breakin' me
Confusion, it goes on and on
Hell, I should be gone
And through all our history
The man is a mystery
He takes what he wants from me
And leaves what he don't alone
Well, I'd rather walk away
Pretend that it's all okay
Than ask Mr. Cool to stay
The man's in a world alone?
Please...
I don't want another
Squeeze...
You work me like no other
Freeze...
You make it hard for me to
Breathe...
Somebody rescue me
And your cold heart's no friend of mine
You're thrillin' me, you're killin' me
And I've been waiting all this time
And I...
I can't change this sorry song
You're makin' me, you're breakin' me
Confusion, it goes on and on
Hell, I should be gone
