Lyrics
The Weakness In Me
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 not the sort of person who falls in and quickly out of love
But to you, I gave my affection, right from the start
I have a lover who loves me, how could I break such a heart?
Yet still you get my attention
Why do you come here, when you know I've got troubles enough?
Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone?
Make me lie when I don't want to
And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?
You make me stay when I should not?
Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me
Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?
But I need to see you, and I mean to hold you tightly
Feeling guilty, worried
Waking from a tormented sleep
This old love has me bound
But this new love cuts deep
If I choose now, I'll lose out
One of you has to fall
And I need you, and you
Why do you come here, when you know I've got troubles enough?
Why do you call me, when you know I can't answer the phone?
Make me lie when I don't want to
And make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool?
You make me stay when I should not?
Are you so strong or is all the weakness in me
Why do you come here, and pretend to be just passing by?
But I need to see you, and I mean to hold you tightly
