Why don't you love me? (Why don't you love me?)
I'm kinda lonely (I'm kinda lonely)
You showed me love the way you felt it
But I was unaffected
So I pack up my clothes (clothes), leave for the night (night)
Say what you want (want), flames on the fire (fire)
You never showed me you can love somebody else like yourself
I was hoping you would hold me close
Now these days are gone, I'm on my own
You don't know you're dancing in the dirt
I, I see, I, I see
I was hoping you would hold me close
Now these days are gone, I'm on my own
You don't know you're dancing in the dirt
I, I see, I, I see
Remember you told me (remember you told me)
We're building a home for the two
You never felt, you just pretended
Like I'd be unaffected
Just like the moon (moon), we turned the tide (tide)
For a moment or two (two), we might survive (-vive)
You never showed me you can love somebody better than yourself
I was hoping you would hold me close
Now these days are gone, I'm on my own
You don't know you're dancing in the dirt
I, I see, I, I see (I, oh)
I was hoping you would hold me close
Now these days are gone, I'm on my own
You don't know you're dancing in the dirt
I, I see, I, I see
And now do you even know it?
Been a pain in my soul, yeah
Touching people, hold me now, yeah, one more night
I was hoping you would hold me close
Now these days are gone, I'm on my own
You don't know you're dancing in the dirt (oh, baby)
I, I see, I, I see (see you, oh)
I was hoping you would hold me close
Now these days are gone, I'm on my own
You don't know you're dancing in the dirt
I, I see, I, I see
