[Verse 1]
I'm home alone again
And you're out, hanging with your friends
So you say, somehow I know it's not quite that way
It's getting pretty late, and you haven't checked on me all day
When I called, you didn't answer
Now I'm feeling like you're ignoring me
I wish, that you were home, holding me tight in your arms
I wish, I could go back, to the day before we met and skip my regret
[Chorus]
I wish I wasn't in love with you
So you couldn't hurt me
It just ain't fair the way you treat me
No you don't deserve me
Wasted my time thinking bout you and you ain't never gone change
I wish I wasn't in love with you so I wouldn't feel this way
[Verse 2]
When you touch me my heart melts
And everything you did wrong I forget
So you play me and take advantage of the love that I feel for you
Why you wanna hurt me so bad
I believed in you that's why I'm so mad
Now I'm drowning in disappointment, and it's hard for me to even look at you
I wish, that you were home, holding me tight in your arms
Oh, baby
I wish, I could go back
To the day before we met and skip my regret
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Said you care about me, but from what I see
I ain't feeling all that, so I disagree
Gave you all my love and understanding
Yet you treated me like your enemy
So leave me alone, don't want nothin' from you
Just go back where you came from
This house is no longer your home
You're not welcome no, no, no,more
[Chorus x2]
[Outro]
Hear you knockin' at the door again
I'm wonderin' should I let you in
I open up the door and see
The flowers for me
So
Beautiful in your hand
Please stop begging me to take you back
I've always been a sucker for romance
And before you know
It I concede
You're all over me
Oh no, here I go again
I wish I wasn't in love with you
So you couldn't hurt me
