It's 3:00 a.m. and I finally say

I'm sorry for actin' that way

I didn't really mean to make you cry

Oh, baby, sometimes I wonder why

Does it always have to come down to you leavin'

Before I'll say "I love you"?

Why do I always use the words that cut the deepest

When I know how much it hurts you?

Oh, baby, why do I do that to you?

I know I'd never let you walk away

So why do I push you 'til you break?

And why are you always on the verge of goodbye

Before I'll show you how I really feel inside?

Why does it always have to come down to you leavin'

Before I'll say "I love you"?

And why do I always use the words that cut the deepest

When I know how much it hurts you?

Oh, baby, why do I do that to you?

Why do I do that to you?

Why do I always use the words that cut the deepest

When I know how much it hurts you?

Oh, baby, why do I do that to you?

Why do I do that to you?

Why do I do that to you?
