The truth is that I'm askin' you to lie And we both know that it ain't right But if you ever loved me Please have some mercy on me

It's 3 AM and I finally say I'm sorry for acting that way I didn't really mean to make you cry Oh baby, sometimes I wonder why Why does it always have to come down To you leaving 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 good-bye Before I'll show you how I really feel inside Why does it always have to come down To you leaving 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 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
