[Verse 1]
I can’t say that I’m sorry
Came so ahead of myself
I can’t say that I’m sorry
For loving you and hating myself
I've nothing to show you
I've nothing to hold you down
It’s killing me to walk away
[Hook]
How come you don’t want me now
Why don’t you wanna wake this up
How come you always lead me on
Never take my call, hear me out
Why don’t you wanna win me now?
Why don’t you wanna show me off?
Tell me why you’re gonna try
Gonna try and leave me here
[Verse 2]
I see you by my house, walking with a different girl
I see you by my house, talking with a different girl
She’s got nothing to show you
She’s got nothing to hold you down
You're killing me to walk away
[Hook]
How come you don’t want me now
Why don’t you wanna wake this up
How come you always lead me on
Never take my call, hear me out
Why don’t you wanna win me now?
Why don’t you wanna show me off?
Tell me why you couldn't try
Couldn't try and keep me here
[Verse 3]
Someday, soon
I won’t be the one who waits on you
So damn soon
I won’t be the one who waits on you
How come you don’t want me now
How come you always lead me on
Never take my call, hear me out
Why don’t you wanna win me now?
Tell me why you couldn't try
Couldn't try and keep me here
How come you don’t want me now
Why don’t you wanna wake this up (try and keep me here)
How come you always lead me on
Never take my call, hear me out (try and keep me here)
Why don’t you wanna win me now?
Why don’t you wanna show me off? (try and keep me)
Tell me why you couldn't try
Couldn't try and keep me here
How come you don’t want me now
Why don’t you wanna wake this up (try and keep me here)
How come you always lead me on
Never take my call, hear me out (try and keep me here)
Why don’t you wanna win me now?
Why don’t you wanna show me off? (try and keep me)
Tell me why you couldn't try
Couldn't try and keep me here
