Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I can't say that I'm sorry, gettin' so ahead of myself (Myself)
I can't say that I'm sorry for lovin' you and hatin' myself (Myself)
I have nothin' to show you
I have nothin' to hold you down
It's killin' me to walk away
[Verse 2]
How come you don't want me now?
Why don't you wanna wake this up?
How come you always lead me on
Never take my call, hear me out?
Why don't you wanna win me now?
Why don't you wanna show me off?
Tell me why you're couldn't try
Couldn't try and leave me here?
[Verse 3]
I see you by my house, walkin' with a different girl
I see you by my house, talkin' with a different girl
She's got nothin' to show you
She's got nothin' to hold you down
You're killin' me to walk away
[Verse 4]
How come you don't want me now?
Why don't you wanna wake this up?
How come you always lead me on
Never take my call, hear me out?
Why don't you wanna win me now?
Why don't you wanna show me off?
Tell me why you couldn't try
Couldn't try and keep me here?
[Verse 5]
One day soon, I won't be the one who waits on you
(I won't be the one)
Someday soon, I won't be the one who waits on you
[Verse 6]
How come you don't want me now?
How come you always lead me on
Never take my call, hear me out?
Why don't you wanna win me now?
Tell me why you couldn't try
Couldn't try and keep me here?
[Verse 7]
How come you don't want me now?
Why don't you wanna wake this up? (Try and keep me here)
How come you always lead me on
Never take my call, hear me out? (Try and keep me)
Why don't you wanna win me now?
Why don't you wanna show me off? (Try and keep me)
Tell me why you couldn't try
Couldn't try and keep me here?
[Verse 8]
How come you don't want me now?
Why don't you wanna wake this up? (Try and keep me here)
How come you always lead me on
Never take my call, hear me out? (Try and keep me)
Why don't you wanna win me now?
Why don't you wanna show me off? (Try and keep me)
Tell me why you couldn't try
Couldn't try and keep me here
