In The First Place
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.
You used to like it when I cried, you said that
You knew I loved you but this feels like a setback
I know I need to control myself but I can't
I wish that I could take it all back
If you don't want to see my tears
Don't give me reason to
Cry, I want nothing more than you tonight
I'm falling even faster
I don't wanna say goodbye
But you insist we have to
Why are you surprised, that this is what we've come to?
Why are you surprised?
Why are you talking to me like I'm a stranger?
Why is it so hard to say that we're in danger?
How can we kiss and make up
But later find ourselves in the same place two days later
I love you more than ever
And we swore we would never
Do this, well I don't wanna do this
Give each other reasons to
Cry, I want nothing more than you tonight
I'm falling even faster
I don't wanna say goodbye
But you insist we have to
Why are you surprised, that this is what we've come to?
Why are you surprised?
Well I guess it's only fair to take half the blame
It's not like it was anyone's fault in the first place
It's not like it was anyone's fault in the first place
In the first place
Well, I don't want to cry
I want nothing more than you tonight
I'm falling even faster
I don't wanna say goodbye
But you insist we have to
Why are you surprised, that this is what we've come to?
Why are you surprised?
