"He doesn't want to talk to me. He doesn't even look at me. So I'm leavin', leavin', yeah." That's what you always say to me. You cry over the phone with me Saying, "what am I supposed to do?" "He did it again yesterday. I'll probably call it off today. Yeah, I'm leavin', leavin', yeah." You hide under the shade today Catch a glimpse of the bruise down on your knee Behind the lens, a stream of teardrops Back both of us were kids You would cry all through the night Pull you closer by the shoulder 'Til all your tears were dry And I'd hope for a better, sweeter love For you, baby Just know that I'll be strong for you I stay up lately Just wondering what I'm supposed to do With how I feel I bury them inside "He doesn't want to talk to me. He doesn't even look at me. So I'm leavin', leavin', yeah." Yeah, I just wish that I had enough strength inside To pull you away to protect you from him, too Every night I dream and, yeah, all I ever think of is only you All the pain endured, I want to carry them for you, too When I wake and open both my eyes To the fact that you're gone I'll be wondering What am I supposed to, What am I supposed to do? (I'll do what I have to) For you, baby Just know that I'll be strong for you I stay up lately I'm beating myself at night Just wondering what I'm supposed to do With how I feel I bury them inside Every time I dream I wake up When I want to dream, I wake up from everything 'Til I find a way I'll make sure of me to stay With how I feel inside
