It's another quiet Friday night (I'm waitin)
Alone again, here I am
Not a trace of you in sight (I'm missin)
Excuses on the back of your hand
It's another so meaningless fight (I question)
I forget what we were fightin for
But you don't really hear me
Even when I'm screamin
You know I deserve much more

All the empty promises you say or do
I think we're runnin out of time
And I wanna believe that you'll follow through
I don't wanna walk the line

[Chorus:]
Why you gotta make it so hard for me
To love you like I can?
Why you gotta see me walk away
To make you understand?
One love you can call on true, baby
Why you gotta make it so hard for me to love you?
Why you gotta make it so hard?

Just to say you're a child (I mean it)
Just to keep me holdin on
Baby, just open your eyes (and see it)
What we have is so, so strong

All the empty promises you say or do
I don't wanna waste my time
And I wanna believe that you'll follow through
And I don't wanna walk the line, tell me

[Chorus]

Something has got to change
I'm not gonna lose my way, tell me
Why should I stay?
Should I?
Why should I wait?
For my heart has had all it can take

[Chorus x2]
