"He doesn't want to talk to me.
He doesn't even look at me.
So I'm leavin', leavin', yeah."
That's what you always say to me.
You cry over the phone with me
Saying, "what am I supposed to do?"
"He did it again yesterday.
I'll probably call it off today.
Yeah, I'm leavin', leavin', yeah."
You hide under the shade today
Catch a glimpse of the bruise down on your knee
Behind the lens, a stream of teardrops
Back both of us were kids
You would cry all through the night
Pull you closer by the shoulder
'Til all your tears were dry
And I'd hope for a better, sweeter love
For you, baby
Just know that I'll be strong for you
I stay up lately
Just wondering what I'm supposed to do
With how I feel
I bury them inside
"He doesn't want to talk to me.
He doesn't even look at me.
So I'm leavin', leavin', yeah."
Yeah, I just wish that I had enough strength inside
To pull you away to protect you from him, too
Every night I dream and, yeah, all I ever think of is only you
All the pain endured, I want to carry them for you, too
When I wake and open both my eyes
To the fact that you're gone
I'll be wondering
What am I supposed to,
What am I supposed to do?
(I'll do what I have to)
For you, baby
Just know that I'll be strong for you
I stay up lately
I'm beating myself at night
Just wondering what I'm supposed to do
With how I feel
I bury them inside
Every time I dream I wake up
When I want to dream, I wake up from everything
'Til I find a way
I'll make sure of me to stay
With how I feel inside
