Why try when I know trying will lead to crying
And slowly I'm dying
From the pain that I'm hiding
So why bother trying
Why bother laughing and smiling and joking
There's air in my lungs but I feel like I'm choking
I'm tryna progress but I'm stuck in slow motion
Sitting hoping wishing doting
Tryna stay closed but you tore my heart open
Why fall in love with your tempting smile
When I know breaking hearts is your favorite pastime
You're a wonderful person, you're one of a kind
But there's danger beneath that romantic design
Why sit here and go through miserable things
When I know that pain is what loving you brings
I'll fall hard while you'll only want a fling
I don't want no rings or the blingy-bling-bling
I just want someone who'll make my heart sing
Why did I allow myself to fall for you
When I know that hurting me is all you're gonna do
The chase, you pursue, you win, I lose
And my heart was the prize but that's nothing new
Why did I tell you how I really felt
'cause now I'm stuck with this hand I've been dealt
Will I sit on the shelf as another notch in your belt
Or will you truly love me as you do yourself
See I told you trying will lead to tears
And crying is something I really do fear
My heart is dying cause I'm a little scared
I'm hiding my emotions cause I don't know if you care
My heart's never been broken but it's had a few rips
And I never fell in love but I had a few trips
I wanna run into you but I'm afraid that I'll slip
Into that wicked trap that is known as your lips
I love you, but I love me more.
