Lyrics
Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong
Every time I call your name
I know you're gone
Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong
Every time I come your way
I know you're gone
I can feel it
Every time you look my way
I can feel it
Guess I need a lifestyle change
'Cause you told me once
That you only can give so much
Shoulda known our love
Was hopeless
Now I'm out on a limb, I see
There's no fruit on the empty tree
Keep on wishing, but it won't be
I know it
Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong
Every time I call your name
I know you're gone
Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong
Every time I come your way
I know you're gone
Yeah
(Night after night)
Ha, ah
(Lying awake)
Ha, ah, ah, ah
(Waking!)
Now, I know it
(Well, how do you feel?)
Like there's nothing I can do
Caught up in a game where I'm the fool
Still, I'd rather play until I lose
Try to go up, but it don't compare
Talk too much that my friends don't care
Just another toy for you to play with
'Cause you know I'm always there
Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong (why you gotta play?)
Every time I call your name (with me?)
I know you're gone
Why you gotta play with me? (ha, ah)
You know you're wrong
Every time I come your way
I know you're gone
In the dead of summer
I just need something
To distract me from the way that it was
Used to be easy
Had your attention freely
Now you play with me 'til you've had enough
Why you gotta play with me?
