Why should I care about the way you feel You have to learn a lesson the same as me Don't want this to take a turn for the worst I just need you to reflect and search I don't get it girl You tell me there's no other man left for you in this world And I'm all that you need, but my loving's reserved Just hoping for the best, not prepared for the worst But we didn't connect first And you're going insane trying to get the last word Not saying that you're wrong, but the tables have turned So concerned with the lies, feeling like you've been burnt And all that you want is so simple it hurts … but It's not my fault, you don't know who you want And you're killing yourself over losing girl, don't So emotional don't know who you love And it's not debatable, cause I'm unavailable Now here you go again And now I need protection from your dreadful sins Crucified by your heart, cause I won't let you in Tell me why you continue to let the past trend Just stop, it's the end I can clearly state now that you're nothing like the rest I don't know what you benefit from all this stress … but It's not my fault, you don't know who you want And you're killing yourself over losing girl, don't So emotional don't know who you love And it's not debatable, cause I'm unavailable It's not my fault, you don't know who you want And it's not debatable, cause I'm unavailable
