Beat Back Love

I was around

The first time you fell down,

Picked you up off of the playground

And I've never once asked

"Hey what about me?"

I've been the one

Between all your boyfriends,

To hold you

And all of your problems;

What do I have to do to make you see?

You beat back love

But somebody wants you.

You had enough,

But somebody needs you.

You push and shove,

But somebody's still in love with you.

Yea You fight it off,

But somebody finds you.

You build a wall,

But it doesn't hide you.

You try to fall,

But somebody won't let go of you;

Yea somebody will always be in love with you.

Yea and I'm the one you've always been close to,

Know all the things that I'm not supposed to,

Saved you from all the wolves at 2AM.

All the nights you were lying beside me,

Too close for friends in the light of a TV,

When will the longing stop and the love begin?

You beat back love

But somebody wants you.

You had enough,

But somebody needs you.

You push and shove,

But somebody's still in love with you.

Yea You fight it off,

But somebody finds you.

You build a wall,

But it doesn't hide you.

You try to fall,

But somebody won't let go of you;

Yea somebody will always be in love with you.

You beat back love

But somebody wants you.

You had enough,

But somebody needs you.

You push and shove,

But somebody's still in love with you.

Yea You fight it off,

But somebody finds you.

You build a wall,

But it doesn't hide you.

You try to fall,

But somebody won't let go of you;

Yea somebody will always be

That somebody has always been me

And I will I will always be in love with you
