lyrics

You said please
Don’t call me up
I just can’t take it anymore
It hurts too much
To know you’re around
But then you’re too hard to ignore
Now I can’t sleep
I wanna have you all to myself
For one more night

I broke my heart
A thousand times
Wasn’t so hard to do
Because I wanted to

I can’t turn off
How I feel inside
If you were still in love
You would know that I wanted to

One more drink
For old time’s sake
We’ve done this dance before
Just your smile
Is all it takes
Before we’re outside my door
Cuz every time you come to see me
I just lie to myself
That you’re still mine

I broke my heart
A thousand times
Wasn’t so hard to do
Because I wanted to

I can’t turn off
How I feel
If you were still in love
You would know that I wanted to
I wanted to

Here we are
Both wondering if you’ll say
That you missed me and you promise you’ll stay
Please stay
You just walked away

I wish I could just forget
The summer nights and the things you said
It’s like you never left
I wanted to - wanted you - wanted to

The memories keep coming back
Why can’t you just come back
I lost something I never had
I wanted to - wanted you - wanted to

I broke my heart
A thousand times
Wasn’t so hard to do
Because I wanted to

I can’t turn off
How I feel
If you were still in love
You would know that I wanted to
I wanted to
