Me and You

It hurts me when you're like this
Maybe it's 'cause I don't understand
You run hot and cold all the time
It confuses me, it's out of hand

All I want is to hold you
It's all I've wanted since we met
You drain the life out of me
And I can't seem to make up the debt

You know I've fallen too many times
I don't want to rise anymore
But somehow you keep lifting me
So my feet don't even touch the floor

The light in your eyes seems to flicker
It's there, but then it's gone
When it's there my heart is in heaven
When it's not I'm a fool for the con

You make me believe without reason
In something I can't possibly know
Then shatter the dream in an instant
And leave me with nowhere to go

You play the game like you've played it before
Like you've practiced every little skill
You reel me in and then throw me back
Always against my will

I see you out with your friends
A girl on each of your arms
They smile and blush so shyly
But they know how it harms

They see the pain they're causing
They see it in my eyes
They know you're torn between us
They would laugh out loud at my cries

I thought that I was special,
That I was dear to you,
But it was all just lies, of course;
I was just something new.

There were promises that you made
But you reneged on them all
(Told me I was yours and
You'd catch me should I fall)

And even though my heart still bleeds
And my eyes still shed bitter tears
Every dog has their day
And that day for this bitch nears.
