'Cause I try

'Cause I try

Could you be holding out for something more?

Maybe I'm not what you're looking for

But I'll be waiting if you change your mind

And everybody tells me it's just a waste of time

And if I give up hope

Well, then I might as well lay down and die

And that's why I'm asking

Why you always push me away?

'Cause I try to do the best I can for you

So I'm asking

Why you always push me away?

'Cause I try to do the best I can for you, oh-oh

Seems like I've known you forever

But still you don't know I'm alive

Why can't we just be together?

'Cause it seems the world is made for you and I

And if I give up hope

Well, then I might as well lay down and die

And that's why I'm asking

Why you always push me away?

'Cause I try to do the best I can for you

So I'm asking

Why you always push me away?

'Cause I try to do the best I can for you, oh-oh

I just called 'cause I was thinking about you

I just called 'cause I was thinking about you

You gotta let me know if I'm getting through

And you know that I'm only just a step away from crazy

This is what you do to me

Why you always push me away?

'Cause I try to do the best I can for you

So I'm asking

Why you always push me away?

'Cause I try to do the best I can for you

('Cause you're the reason why)

Why you always push me away?

('Cause you are the one that makes my world go 'round)

'Cause I try to do the best I can for you

(So I'm asking) And baby, I just can't take it

Why you always push me away?

(No, no) 'Cause I try to do the best I can for you, oh-oh

Why you always push me away?

(Why you always push me?)

'Cause I try to do the best I can for you

('Cause I try to do the best I can)

So I'm asking

Why you always push me away?

(You push me away)

'Cause I try to do the best I can for you, oh-oh

Why you always push me away?

'Cause I try to do the best I can for you

So I'm asking

Why you always push me away?
