How Come You Don't Want 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 can't say that I'm sorry
For getting so ahead of myself
I can't say that I'm sorry
For loving you and hating myself
I had nothing to show you
I had nothing to hold you down
It's killing me to walk away
How come you don't want me now?
Why don't you want to wait this out?
How come you always lead me on
Never take my call, hear me out?
Why don't you want to win me now?
Why don't you want to show me off?
Tell me why you couldn't try
Couldn't try and keep me here
I see you by my house
Walking with a different girl
I see you by my house
Talking with a different girl
She's got nothing to show you
She's got nothing to hold you down
You're killing me walk away
How come you don't want me now?
Why don't you want to wait this out?
How come you always lead me on
Never take my call, hear me out?
Why don't you want to win me now?
Why don't you want to show me off?
Tell me why you couldn't try
Couldn't try and keep me here
One day soon
I won't be the one who waits on you
(One day you won't know me)
Some day soon
I won't be the one who waits on you
(Some day you won't know me)
How come you don't want me now?
How come you always lead me on
Never take my call, hear me out?
Why don't you want to win me now?
Tell me why you couldn't try
Couldn't try and keep me here
