I tried to climb the ladder, of the bruised and of the battered
Of the loved ones that I should've left behind
But I'll tell you what you wanna hear
Knowing that there's more but it's unclear
In the phrases that are left undefined
It gets hard
It gets hard
To do what's right
I don't wanna love you
But I do
I don't wanna need you
Cut you loose
I don't want you when you're down on your knees
I don't want you when you're hard to please
Don't tell me what I wanna hear
I'm tired of the stream of tears
You love to beg on borrowed thoughts of mine
(Love to beg, love to beg, love to beg)
I tried to open up the door
But you take and you take and you just want more
I slam it in your face, a last goodbye
It gets hard
It gets hard
To do what's right
I don't wanna love you
But I do
I don't wanna need you
Cut you loose
I don't want you when you're down on your knees
I don't want you when you're hard to please
I'm wishing I could erase you
I'm wishing I could replace you
I don't wanna love you
But I do
I don't wanna need you
Cut you loose
I don't want you when you're down on your knees
I don't want you when you're hard to please
I don't wanna love you
But I do
I don't wanna need you
Cut you loose
I'm wishing I could erase you
