Well I keep telling myself, it's no reason to care
Cause I'm already sick and tired of this one-sided affair
Just wanna believe, that this time it'll change
That it's all been worth the wait
Give me something I can't fake

Oh, but I'm brokenhearted in Birmingham
Wondering just who I am
Your heart is black and I'm surely blue
I tried all I can do
It's still me and you, oh

While I was lovin' you more, I got empty space
And I don't wanna climb another step of this mistake
Feels like we don't even start before closing time
And I'm about to lose my mind
Get around here just to find

Once again, I'm brokenhearted in Birmingham
I'm taking more that I can stand
Your heart is black and I'm badly bruised
I tried all I can do

I need one good reason I shouldn't go
we both know, yeah

Oh, but I'm brokenhearted in Birmingham
I'm taking more that I can stand
Your heart is black and I'm badly bruised
I tried all I can do
Oh, I wish that we were through
It's still me and you
Oh, I do
Yeah, it's still me and you
Hate it but I do
