Always This Way

Give me a minute of your time And let me explain it, and tell you why I'm in over my head now, look in my eyes I'm afraid, I'm losing my mind again I recall now, when they said, "Run as fast, as you can, girl He's no good" and I stayed 'Cause I honestly believe in you and your heart Dear, I know it's true and I'm losing you 'Cause there's much better girls out there And I look back and regret How I dropped my heart again And I wonder, wonder why It's gotta be this way, it's always this way And I gave all I got To make you feel special Your kiss, forever on my lips Forever on my skin, forever on my mind I'll never fall again, like I fell for you My nightmare came true This is me swallowing All my pride and my pain and my anger I threw it away, 'cause I'm willing to tell you What you're gonna to miss when I'm gone We would've snuggled on the sofa, and would've watched "Restless" I'm not much for bad things, but for you, I'd go all the way And we'd dance to our favorite songs, and favorite bands Like Tegan and Sara, do you remember? I'd sleep in your sweater, and keep you safe and sound And love every inch of your body, and kiss all your scars I'd make you laugh, when you were about to get mad Now I know it was wrong When I thought I got back in your head And they said, "He doesn't deserve you" And I didn't care again, I didn't mind again And I wonder, wonder why It's gotta be this way, it's always this way And I gave all I got To be the best you'll ever have Your blue eyes, forever on my mind Forever in my head, forever in the past We'll be two strangers with memories Love will find me, I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess And I wonder, wonder why It's gotta be this way, it's always this way If I only get you by saying goodbye I don't want to stay You walked away, wouldn't give it a try You changed your mind, it's alright I understand, I do, I understand, I do I understand, I do, I wouldn't want me, too
