Why didn't you tell me that the only reason
Why you walked away
Is you were afraid I might leave you?

And why didn't you tell me that the only reason
For the things you'd say
Is you were afraid I didn't need you?

And now that you've done everything you could
To make me lose my faith in you
You say, "Come on, believe me"

And now that you've done everything you could
To make me lose my desire for you
You say, "Please, don't leave me"

Why didn't you tell me that the only people
That you push that far
Are the ones that you really love?

And why the night we were talking
And walking under the West Side Highway
Did you say, "This would never ever be enough?"

And now that you've done everything you could
To make me lose my faith in you
You say, "Believe me"

And now that you've done everything you could
To make me lose my desire for you
You say, "Please, don't leave me"

You try so hard to explain
You try so hard to take the blame
I don't mind what you say
There's the line I can't stay, now
