Keeping You Away
You were the best I had
That’s why it hurt so bad
To say good-bye to you
And tell you that we’re through
You messed up my head
Like you said you would
I should have listened
I didn’t think you could
Damn I trusted you
And gave you some of my heart
All you told me was lies
And tore my heart apart
You said that you loved me
But I knew it couldn’t be true
I’m young and I’m dumb
Because I thought I loved you too
But it turned out that all I loved was the lies
And when it hurt to say good-bye
And when you hurt me until I cry
And then I sit and wonder why
Why do you hurt me?
Why do you make me sad?
Why don’t you love me?
Like you said you had
Why do we argue?
Why do we fight?
Why can’t we figure out
Who’s wrong from right?
Why are you running?
What scares you to stay?
Please tell me why
What is keeping you away?
That’s why it hurt so bad
To say good-bye to you
And tell you that we’re through
You messed up my head
Like you said you would
I should have listened
I didn’t think you could
Damn I trusted you
And gave you some of my heart
All you told me was lies
And tore my heart apart
You said that you loved me
But I knew it couldn’t be true
I’m young and I’m dumb
Because I thought I loved you too
But it turned out that all I loved was the lies
And when it hurt to say good-bye
And when you hurt me until I cry
And then I sit and wonder why
Why do you hurt me?
Why do you make me sad?
Why don’t you love me?
Like you said you had
Why do we argue?
Why do we fight?
Why can’t we figure out
Who’s wrong from right?
Why are you running?
What scares you to stay?
Please tell me why
What is keeping you away?
