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
