lyrics

I've been living alone, falling asleep on the phone
Waiting for you to call me when you get home
And I had swallowed my pride, I brought the love back alive
I learned how to survive living on hope
But the dreams that fill my nights
Are so much sweeter than what I see in your eyes

I love you, baby, but you make me sad
You give me just enough to keep me coming back
Then you take me and leave me lonely by your side
You ask me not to cry, but you don't ask me why
You don't ask me why

Now I'm starting to see what you've been doing to me
And it's cruel, and it's mean, and you'll never know
Because people like you - it's not your fault what you do
No matter how bad I want you to you can't change
But just when I think I can leave
You give me a taste of how sweet it could be
Oh no, no, no...

I love you, baby, but you make me sad
You give me just enough to keep me coming back
Then you take me and leave me lonely by your side
You ask me not to cry, but you don't ask me why
I love you, baby, but you make me sad
You give me just enough to keep me coming back
Then you take me and leave me lonely by your side
You ask me not to cry, but you don't ask me why
Oh, you make me feel alive then you make me want to die
Oh, I love you, but I don't know why
