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'm home alone again

And your out hangin' with your friends

So you say

Somehow i know it's not quite that way

It's getting pretty late

And you haven't checked on me all day

When i called, you didn't answer

Now i feel like your ignorin' me

I wish

That you were home

Holdin' me

Tight in your arms

And i wish

I could go back

To the day before we met

And skip my regret

(chorus)

I wish i wasn't

In love with you

So you couldn't hurt me

It just ain't fair

The way you treat me

No you don't deserve me

Wasting my time

Thinkin' bout you

And you ain't never gon change

I wish i wasn't

In love with you

So i wouldn't feel this way

When you touch me my heart melts

Anything you did wrong i forget

So you play me

And take advantage

Of the love

That i feel for you

Why you wanna hurt me so bad

I believed in you

That's why i'm so mad

Now i'm drownin' in disappointment

And its hard for me to even look at you

I wish

That you were home

Oh yes i do

Holdin' me

Tight in your arms

Ooo baby

And i wish

I could go back

To the day before we met

And skip my regret

(chorus)

You said you cared bout me

But from what i see

I am feelin' that

So i disagree

Gave you all my love

And understanding

And you treated me

Like your enemy

So leave me alone

Don't want nothin' from you

Just go back where you came from

This house is no longer your home

You're not welcome no no no more

No (oo oo oo) more

(chorus x2)

You're knockin' at the door again

I'm wonderin' should i let you in

I open up the door and see

The flowers for me

So beautiful in your hand

You start beggin' me to take you back

I've always been a sucka' for romance

And before you know it i can see

You're all over me

Oh no, here i go again

I wish i wasn't

In love with you
