Down

I just don't understand
They say love is compromise
Where does that leave us?
When I look in your eyes
You seem to care
Then you lead me to another place
It isn't fare all these rules you make
I just can't stay around
With all your foolish games
It's like a miracle I've made it this far
And you say you won't keep fighting
But I know you will
It's like a cycle and still
You keep pulling me
Down down down down down
Lower than I've ever known
Oh you tease me with a smile
Then you leave me all alone
I still wish things were good
Just like they used to be
Two friends who fell in love
Trapped in the mystery
We had so much in common
And we laughed at everything
That was long ago
Before you went and changed
Before we lost control
Before we started to fight
Before you raised your voice
Before I left that night
And now I'm left here crying out
Head up to the sky
Trying to get back to the point
When we were right
You keep pulling me
Down down down down down
Lower than I've ever known
Oh you tease me with a smile
Then you leave me all alone
Like a drop of rain
Falling through a passing wind
You keep pulling me
Down down down down down
Can we get back up again?
Just one
One glimpse of happiness
And I won't have to guess
If love has won
You keep pulling me down
Like a drop of rain
Falling through a passing wind
You keep pulling me
Down down down down down
Can we get back up again?
