Love Me Nicely

It's weird to say

I could hate you if I didn't love you, babe

You take my breath away

But you took it too far

And now look where we are, at our emptiest

And I know I

Justify all your reasons

For all the nights

Of stupid fights

But no one's leaving

'Cause we both know you make me cry, and it hurts you

Then I'll stay and comfort you, saying I'm fine

And we both know I deserve better than all of this

But I'll still be there to kiss, every night

And, no, it's not fair to me

But I don't want anyone else

'Cause I know that you love me, but could you love me nicely?

Oh, and I hate to say

I let it get this far

So I take some blame

But you made the first mistake

When you let yourself love

Knowing you couldn't do it the right way

And I know I

Justify all your reasons

For all the nights

Of stupid fights

But no one's leaving

'Cause we both know you make me cry and it hurts you

Then I'll stay and comfort you, saying I'm fine

And we both know I deserve better than all of this

But I'll still be there to kiss, every night

And, no, it's not fair to me

But I don't want anyone else

'Cause I know that you love me, but could you love me nicely?

Could you love me nicely?

Trust me, I recognize

I shouldn't sacrifice

So much of myself for you

If I wasn't standing by

Watching, then maybe I'd

Know how to love me nice too

'Cause we both know you make me cry and it hurts you

Then I'll stay and comfort you, saying I'm fine

And we both know I deserve better than all of this

But I'll still be there to kiss, every night

And, no, it's not fair to me

But I don't want anyone else

'Cause I know that you love me, but could you love me nicely?
