all the things

do we give it all in?
all the things we have
are the things we have never been

why do you drown
when you been taught how to swim
why to you cry
when I have taught you how to laugh
why look around
when you been asked to stay
why the sad look
when I have showed you how to smile
why wait
then insist on walking a million miles away

loving is easy
but you give it all in
leaving is the hard way
I guess I lose, you win
taking the easy way out

why do you say you love me
when I asked you to leave
why do you beg me to stay
then walk out on me
why do you look so great
but say you want to lose weight
why start to run
before you can walk
why fall in love
before we have fallen apart

leaving me is easy
for you to give it all in
loving me was the hard part
I guess I drown while you swim
I’m the one with the broken heart

we have given it all up?
all the things we have loved
are the things nothing to do with love

why hold me
then say you don’t need me
why tease me
and say you love me
why do you lie
when I have taught you about the truth
why fly
before you decide to take off
why be you
and do the things you do
don’t say you love me
when it was never true
it will never be

wanting me was the first step
loving me was too much
you wanted to be beg
but I’m sorry
I wanted you to love me too much
