[Verse 1]
Phone rings
Don't wanna pick it up
I'm so scared
I'm gonna say too much
I tip toe around your questions
Why you gotta dig so deep?
Tears fall
And the gla**es break
Inside these walls
The floor boards shake
From outside
It's alright
Long as you looking from fifty feet
[Pre-Chorus]
I been trying trying
Hold my head up high
I been lying lying
Keeping it all inside
Trying not to trust you, yeah
Take another leaf, I'm broke yeah yeah?
[Chorus]
I'm done, I give up
I don't wanna pretend no more
That's it, so what
I've lost a friend before
Gonna say it like it is
No more wondering what if
That ain't the way you oughta live
Cause I don't want you to love me
If you don't wanna love me for me
Cause I don't want you to love me
If you don't wan' love me for me
[Verse 2]
A doll house is all that you could see
But it's so far from my reality
I got problems, I got issues
Sometimes it's all too much for me
Wrap it up with a pretty little bow
But there are some things you can't sugarcoat
Give it to you anyway
Even though it won't taste so sweet
[Pre-Chorus]
I been trying trying
Hold my head up high
I been lying lying
Keeping it all inside
Maybe I could trust you, yeah
Take another leaf, I'm broke yeah yeah?
[Chorus]
I'm done, I give up
I don't wanna pretend no more
That's it, so what
I've lost a friend before
Gonna say it like it is
No more wondering what if
That ain't the way you oughta live
Cause I don't want you to love me
If you don't wanna love me for me
[Bridge]
Sick of all the fighting
All the slamming of the doors
The pain, the parents, too deep you know
Step back, step back
Can you see it through my eyes?
I know, I know
Maybe a surprise
Don't wanna be perceived for something that I'm not
Just wanna be accepted for the little that I got
If you could see me now in my gla** house
Not ready to let you in
[Chorus]
I'm done, I give up
I don't wanna pretend no more
That's it, so what
I've lost a friend before
Gonna say it like it is
No more wondering what if
That ain't the way you oughta live
Cos I don't want you to love me
If you don't wanna love me for me
[Outro]
Cause I don't want you to love me
If you don't wanna love me for me
Cause I don't want you to love me
If you don't wanna love me for me
