You're asking me to stay
But do you want me here?
You haven't made clear
You haven't
When I try to walk away
I'm overcome with fear
I can't hold back the tears
It's been so many years
You only seem to care
When I'm about to go
That's when you say you know
And you put on your show
We're going nowhere
In this in between
Standing on the seam
Either sew or let it bleed
This isn't love
It's an addiction
Attracted to the friction
Of the constant struggle
Seeing double
Blinded by lust
Thinking it must be true
But it's time I got over you
Just let me know
If you're for real
I can't keep playing games
It's all the same
And I can't feel
The way that I've been feeling
These days
Do you really want me to stay?
Or is it something you say?
You're telling me to stay
That everything's alright
When all we do is fight
Telling me not to walk away
But maybe I am right
I should hold on tight
And move toward the light
You only seem to care
When I am feeling strong
Ready to move on
Singing a different song
I'm going somewhere
Away from in between
Where I can rip the seam
Til there's no more you and me
This isn't love
It's an addiction
Attracted to the friction
Of the constant struggle
Seeing double
Blinded by lust
Thinking it must be true
But it's time I got over you
Just let me know
If you're for real
I can't keep playing games
It's all the same
And I can't feel
The way that I've been feeling
These days
Do you really want me to stay?
Or is it something you say?
It's gonna hurt so bad
But it's only temporary
And I'm gonna be so sad
But I know that life will carry
Me on
