Ex-Factor (BBC 1xtra Live Lounge Recording)
It could all be so simple (baby, baby, baby)
But you rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle (just like a battle)
And we both end up with scars
Tell me who I have to be (who do I have to be)
To get some reciprocity
'Cause no one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
Is this just a silly game (silly game)
That forces you to act this way?
Forces you scream my name
Then pretend that you can't stay
Tell me who I have to be
To get some reciprocity
'Cause no one loves you more than me
And no one ever will
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't working (it ain't working), it ain't working (it ain't working, no)
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy (this is crazy), this is crazy (this is crazy)
I keep letting you back in
How can I explain myself?
As painful as this thing has been
I just can't be with no one else
See I know what we've got to do
You let go, and I'll let go too
'Cause no one's hurt me more than you
And no one ever will
No matter how I think we grow
You always seem to let me know
It ain't working, yeah (it ain't working), it ain't working (it ain't working, no)
And when I try to walk away
You'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy (this is crazy), this is crazy (this is crazy)
(Care) care for me, care for me
Said you'd be there for me
(There) there for me, there for me
Won't you cry for me
(Cry) cry for me, cry for me
Could you die for me
(Give) give to me, give to me
You said you'd live for me?
(Care) care for me, care for me
Said you'd be there for me
(There) there for me, there for me
Won't you cry for me
(Cry) cry for me, cry for me
Won't you die for me
(Give) give to me, give to me
Why won't you live for me?
Care

Cry
Give, yeah, yeah
Care
