Repeat.



You're doing it to me again.
I just want to know when it will stop, tell me when?

Just when I think we are at a certain understanding.
Things change up, so that my pain is never ending.

What exactly are you trying to do to me?
I know you're trying to help, but you make me want to flee.

Have you ever felt the things that I've felt?
Cause if you have, that would just cause my heart to melt.

I never want you to think that I'm making fun of you.
Because that would hurt your feelings, that's something that I'd never do!

So please tread carefully as you tiptoe over my soul.
Because if you don't, you will leave a giant hole.

I'm sure I would survive if you ever left me.
But I'd really rather not test my theory.
