The Worst Way

If I lied to you, would it turn you on?
Would you want me more, if I was gone?
If I stayed out late, would you wonder why?
If I was cruel to you, would it keep you mine?

All the ways I try to love you
They only serve to prove
That it's never going to matter how much I do
I break my heart into pieces, I never quite get through
Loving you is the worst way to get to you
Loving you is the worst way

I try to give you space, to set you free
I try to make you feel safe, beside me
I loved you late in the night, in the morning, in the bathroom mirror
I loved you the whole damn time, right now, right here

And all the ways I try to love you
They only serve to prove
That it's never going to matter how much I do
I break my heart into pieces, I never quite get through
Loving you is the worst way to get to you
Loving you is the worst way

Whatever it is you need, I can't find it
It's the same babe, I'm just tired

All the ways I try to love you
They only serve to prove
That it's never going to matter how much I do
I think I know the reason I never quite get through
It's 'cause loving you is the worst way to get to you
Loving you is the worst way to get to you
Why is loving you the worst way?
