You're killing me baby
And I don't think you care
Still whenever you need someone
I'm the only one there
Why do I let you use me?
Am I the only one you know?
You keep coming back to hurt me
I only try to help cause you're my bro
I know that you don't love me
This I'm not blind to see
But I'm the only one around to give a shit
So, why would you do this to me?
Sometimes I don't think you even like me
But I guess I'll never know for sure
Whenever I make you smile or even laugh
I'm reminded then that at least my love is pure
I wouldn't ever try to hurt you
All the things we've said and done
I just want to make you happy
You know, play around and have a little fun
You continually disrespect me
Lying or leaving me in a bind
I always give an alibi for you and make excuses
Wishing I could press rewind
When we parted ways last June
I admit it was all my fault
We haven't been the same since then
Opening old wounds and covering them with salt
I need to stop looking in the past
That's a time we can't ever replace
Now, whenever you lie to me
It's like a slap in the face
I'll never be scared of you
Only scared that you'll forever leave
But honestly it would be better for us both
Then for you to continue to hurt and deceive
