What I gotta do to get your attention? Used to look at me like I was all that caught your eye Now I don’t even think I know your intentions One look at love was enough to go and leave me blind But you keep running around You’re running around You’re running around Run us in the ground Keep running around We’re crumbling down I keep trying but you keep sighing Do you wanna hurt, do you wanna hurt me? Swore you’re fallin’ but you’re not callin’ Do you wanna hurt, do you wanna hurt me? ‘Cause I ain’t down with this runaround And I’ll be leaving before I’m bleeding You don’t wanna hurt, you don’t wanna hurt me Never been too good with the let down I try so hard just to let it go But your love was a fire fated to burn out So I’ll curse the darkness while I walk it alone But you keep running around You’re running around You’re running around Run me in the ground Keep running around We’re crumbling down CHORUS ‘Cause when I kiss you, I only miss you Leave me with a bitter taste So if you don’t know, I’m letting you go Won’t let my love go to waste Will I make it someday, if there’s nowhere else to go? Will I find it some way, or will I just be alone? I keep trying but you keep sighing Do you wanna hurt, do you wanna hurt me? Swore you’re fallin’ but you’re not callin’ Do you wanna hurt, do you wanna hurt me? ‘Cause I ain’t down with this runaround And I’ll be leaving before I’m bleeding

All Along 05:05
Slender, you render me useless Tongue-tied and in your eyes a mess Correspondence so contagious I’ve read it over not to forget Thought I saw between your lines Written me a dozen times I wanted you like the winter Craves a ray of sun to splinter All the ice that has frozen under my feet on the ground that I’ve walked alone Thinking you would be there when I got home But she was in your bedroom all along Your sheets bearing her perfume all along It’s so hard to be around you And to know that I must go without you When she is in your bedroom all along Saw in you the answer To loneliness that grew like cancer But should have kept to my old doubts ‘Cause you burned me, turned me inside out And like the last cigarette that I stamped out in Seville Wish I could give you up And I tell myself that I will But then I breathe you in and I am wrong I feel you on my skin and I am wrong It’s so hard to be around you And to know that I must go without you When she is in your bedroom all along Turn away from all the things we could have laughed about It’s nothing new, but disappointment I could do without And all the lines half-hearted woven got me to believe All this nothing would give way to something here for me But all this time, I was waiting for you All this time, you had to put me on for All this time, the worst have no intentions All this time, it’s not alright ‘Cause she was in your bedroom all along Your sheets bearing her perfume all along It’s so hard recalling how to Calm the burning in my bones without you When she is in your bedroom all along

In the blur of highway exit signs, I’m your laugh while you drive But as I grip the wheel and strain my own eyes, you lay asleep by my side Well my arms are weak, and my bones have grown sore from holding you with no support We’ve been down this road too many times before, I’m not laughing anymore. You said you wanted me the most But empty words are only ghosts Of love you could have given if you’d tried But you could not be bothered to Return the love I gave to you I’m never more alone than by your side I’ll always be better to you than you are to me I’ll always be better for you than you are for me I’ll always be better to you than you are to me I’ll always be better for you I can take the brush between my fingertips and paint red on my lips Or I could waste away to the bones in my hips, you’d never notice I was the one who called you when the world was unfair, nobody else cared Now I watch the plans we made vanish into the air like they were never even there And though your love was like the tide So often on the shallow side The light from mine could never pull you in You took my heart so selfishly And left me waiting endlessly For love to grow on land that lay barren Well now the seeds are settlin’ That I’ll always be better to you than you are to me I’ll always be better for you than you are for me I’ll always be better to you than you are to me I’ll always be better for you In the blur of highway exit signs, I’m your laugh while you drive

Hold On 05:20
So this is how it goes We both know There is some semblance of attraction But I can’t let it show ‘Cause only I know That you’ll burn up in this reaction You’d best keep your distance Let this be good riddance We both know I tried But now you’d better run and hide For my persistence and All my resistance will Like knives, cut you up inside Hold on, hold on and you will see Hold on, hold on, hold on, You’re better off with me gone Sometimes I feel ashamed Of the games I play to make our heart beat faster And I’m the one to blame ‘Cause even though I feel the same, I am capable of only disaster Please yield to my warnings, You’ll wake up in the morning Only to find I’m no longer by your side It’s not that you’ve wronged me or That I’ve been longing for Something aside It’s just that I can never be alright Hold on, hold on and you will see Hold on, hold on, hold on, You’re better off with me gone And what hurts me the most is that you’ll move on And find someone to make you happier than I could And I’ll still be alone, ‘cause I have never known How to make love last when we know it should Hold on, hold on and you will see Hold on, hold on, hold on, You’re better off with me gone
