I push, you pull, I keep on coming back for more.
You swing, I duck, and we’re stuck in our own personal war.
You love me, you hate me; you can never decide.
I don’t want you, but I need you; my hands are tied.
Why does it always have to be this way?
Why am I never enough to make you stay?
“Why?” I just can’t keep myself from asking.
I wish I could show you all the pain I’ve been masking.
Why don’t you need me the way that I need you?
Why can’t you love me the way that I love you?
For years and years I’ve waited to be your one and only,
You give so little before you take it all back and leave me nothing but lonely.
I pull, you push; it’s obvious, I’ve always wanted you more.
I swing, you duck, I’m getting nowhere in this war.
You say you love me, but you leave me; when will you ever decide?
I tell you I want you, but I can’t have you; can’t you feel how much you’re tearing me up inside?
Why won’t I ever learn it will always be this way?
When will I realize I’ll never be enough to make you stay?
“Why?” I just can’t keep myself from asking.
You’ve never looked deep enough to see the pain I’ve spent all these years masking.
Why do I need you to need me, the way that I think that I need you?
Why do I need you to love me, the way that I can’t help but love you?
One day, I just might forget you, the way you’ve forgotten me.
Someday, I just might see you for who you are, and who you’ll never be.
And there might come a day,
When I can finally say,
I’m simply not in love with you anymore.
But for now, I’ve just got to come to terms with the fact that I’m getting nowhere in this war.
