LYRICS

I watch you while you’re asleep
The one time I ever feel at ease
I’ve got you I know your game
It don’t mean that I know how to play

What’s wrong we didn’t fight?
Just wish I could climb inside your twisted mind
Where do you really go?
If someone has the answer could you let me know?

And through all the history
The man is a mystery, oh
He takes what he wants from me
And leaves what he don’t alone
Oh, I’d rather walk away
Pretend that it’s all okay
Than ask Mister Cool to stay
The man’s in a world alone, oh, oh

It’s over now, I’ve thrown the towel, can’t work it out
Tried so hard but in the end there’s too much doubt
And I was on my knees when he left me at the door
Struggling to pick my broken heart off the floor

A hearts so cold the truth unfolds I can’t say no
Why can’t I turn my back and just let it go?
Done all I can to understand why it wasn’t right
But I’m the one who cries in the night

So I won’t be back
Standing as your trophy, just like you own me
At least I know that
I’ve given my everything, down to this song I sing

And your cold heart’s no friend of mine
You’re thrilling me, you’re killing me
And I’ve been waiting all this time
And I, I can’t change this sorry song
You’re making me, you’re breaking me
Confusion lingers on and on
Hell I should be gone

And through all the history
The man is a mystery, oh
He takes what he wants from me
And leaves what he don’t alone
Oh, I’d rather walk away
Pretend that it’s all okay
Than ask Mister Cool to stay
The man’s in a world alone

Please, I don’t want another
Squeeze, you work me like no other
Freeze, you make it hard for me to
Breathe, somebody rescue me

And your cold heart’s no friend of mine
You’re thrilling me, you’re killing me
And I’ve been waiting all this timeAnd I
I can’t change this sorry song
You’re making me, you’re breaking me
Confusion lingers on and on
Hell I should be gone
