You never want me
It's always a pass
No more 'I love you's
A thing of the past
You never come home
And I never ask
I wanna love you
But you want a snack
No, there's no going back
Loving is lack
Too tired to act
Words fall short and silence grows
Sheets become cold
This ache in my soul
'Cause I gave you my heart and you gave it back
And I'm too much a fool to do the math
One plus one is two, ain't that a fact?
Why is loving you such a drag?
You hold my hand, but never for long
Forgot my birthday, my favorite song
I can't do right for doing wrong
I wanna love you
But you're already gone
No, there's
No going back
Loving is lack
We're too tired to act
Words fall short and silence grows
Sheets become cold
This ache in my soul
'Cause I gave you my heart and you gave it back
And I'm too much a fool to do the math
One plus one is two, ain't that a fact?
Why is loving you such a drag?
Now we're stuck here staring at the past
It ain't nothing new and that's a fact
Can't you break my heart and be a man?
Why is loving you such a drag?
Why is loving you such a drag?
