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 miss when I'm gone

We would have 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

I'd 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

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 just strangers

With memories

Love will find me, 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 wanna 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
