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
But 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
You made me lie
When I don't want to
Make someone else some kind of an unknowing fool
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 see you
And I mean to hold you tightly
Feeling guilty, worried
Waking from a tormented sleep
Ohh, this old love has me bound
But the new love cuts me deep
If I choose now
I'll lose out
One of you has to fall
I need you
You, baby
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
And made me lie
When I don't want to
Make someone else some kind of an unkowing fool
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 see you
And I mean hold you tightly
