Strum
D-DU-UDU
You  think you're so smart
but  baby you're playing  a part.
I  guess I'm guilty  again
because  I always let  you win.
 And you got a heart
 but it's weak and it's breaking apart.
 Well maybe it's not too late
 and we could still resuscitate.
 How should I feel
 when I thought we had a deal?
 We took a break
 and now I'm still awaiting my take.
 The last time we spoke
 you told me my life was a joke.
 You laughed 'till you choked
and  went back to mirrors  and smoke.
 And I kept the impression
 that you think you're too good for  me.
 Well I've got a confession:
 I was only hoping for some charity.
 And it's so frustrating
 I just need one good night's sleep
 and I hate the waiting  just to see if it will  keep.
 Your day will come
 and that day will pass you by.
 The damage is done
 and you'll just sit and wonder why.
 It's such a shame,
 it's a such a forgettable name
 but no one's to blame
 you went out the way you came.
 And I got the impression
 that you thought you were too good for me.
 well I've got a confession:
 I was only looking for some charity.
 And it's so frustrating
 I just need one good night sleep
 and I hate the waiting just to see if it will keep.
You  want them to  like you
and  always need  you there.
 You want them to  want it,
you  need to know  they care.
 You want them to like you
 and always need you there.
 You want to be wanted,
 You need to know they care.
 You want them to like you
 and always need you there.
 You want them to want it,
 you wish that you didn't care.
 So now that you're gone
 I still wonder what went wrong.
 Abuse what I love,
 it's something I'm not very proud of.
 You can't admit
 that you get so caught up in it.
 You've got what you think
 is closest to the real thing.

Abuse what I love,
it's something I'm not very proud of.

You can't admit
that you get so caught up in it.
You've got what you think
is closest to the real thing.
