It may take me forever,
to atone for my mistakes,
but I swear I'll do better,
just stop walking away,
what I say in this letter,
I'd love to say to your face,
"I just can't forget her",
is repeated in my brain,
These things that you say to me,
I say that it's slavery,
the way that you're makin' me,
do this,
these games that you play with me,
I'm drowning in misery,
why can't you stay with me,
through this,
You've wrapped me up tight,
and I can't escape,
can't sleep through the night,
at work I can't concentrate,
it's always a fight,
but I can't change this fate,
I'm wrong and you're right,
why must I live this way,
These things that you say to me,
I say that it's slavery,
the way that you're makin' me,
do this,
these games that you play with me,
I'm drowning in misery,
why can't you stay with me,
through this,
I hate you, I love you,
I need you, you're killing me,
I can't rise above you,
should I surrender willingly,
I can't get enough to,
find what's real in me,
you're always too much too,
silently stealing me,
These things that you say to me,
I say that it's slavery,
the way that you're makin' me,
do this,
these games that you play with me,
I'm drowning in misery,
why can't you stay with me,
through this,
These things that you say to me,
these games that you play with me,
I say that it's slavery,
I'm drowning in misery,
the way that you're makin' me,
want you to stay with me,
now I can't do this,
I can't get through this...
