Love Somebody (Acoustic)

Why do I do this?
Pick you up and put you down and put you through this
Started off as a good thing, a sure thing, you held back, but I know
In the moment our lips touched, the rush sent us straight to the moon

I should've known that we'd be coming down
Right to the bottom where we are now
Started off as a good thing, sure thing, what the hell did I do? Yeah

Every time I think I love somebody
Always find a way to throw it all away
I don't ever wanna hurt nobody
I don't wanna be the one to say

That we gotta have a conversation
I don't wanna watch the tears roll down your face
Know I hurt you, and I, I'm sorry
All I wanted was to love somebody

Why do I do this?
Pick you up and put you down and put you through this
Started off as a good thing, sure thing, you held back, but I know
In the moment our lips touched, the rush sent us straight to the moon

I should've known that we'd be coming down
Right to the bottom where we are now (now)
Started off as a good thing, sure thing, what the hell did I do? Yeah

Every time I think I love somebody
Always find a way to throw it all away
I don't ever wanna hurt nobody
I don't wanna be the one to say

That we gotta have a conversation
I don't wanna watch the tears roll down your face
Know I hurt you, and I'm, I'm sorry
All I wanted was to love somebody

Why do I do this? (Hmmm)
Pick you up and put you down and put you through this (Hmmm)
Why do I do this? (Hmmm)
Pick you up and put you down (Hmmm)

I'm so tired of love songs, tired of love songs
Tired of love songs, tired of love
Just wanna go home, wanna go home (who wrote the book on goodbye?)
Wanna go home, whoa
I like me better when I'm with you (there's never been a way to make this easy)
Dishes in the kitchen, dancing in the rain (Ah, I'm lonely, I'm lonely, I'm lonely uh-ah)

Modern loneliness, we're never alone
But always depressed
Love my friends to death
But I never call and I never text

It's the invisible things that I, that I love the most (don't kiss me right now)
(Don't tell me that you need me)
It's the way that I feel when I, when I hold you close (don't show up at my house)
(All caught up in)

There's no way that it's not going there (I, I wanna do)
With the way that we're looking at each other (whatever you wanna do)
There's no way that it's not going there (if you wanted to)
Every second with you I want another (girl, we could cross that line)

Why do I do this?
Pick you up and put you down and put you through this
Why do I do this?
Pick you up and put you down and put you through this

Every time I think I love somebody (Why do I do this?)
Always find a way to throw it all away (pick you up and put you down and put you through this)
I don't ever wanna hurt nobody (Why do I do this?)
I don't wanna be the one to say (pick you up and put you down and put you through this)
That we gotta have a conversation
I don't wanna watch the tears roll down your face
Know, I hurt you, and I'm, I'm sorry (Why do I do this?)
All I wanted was to love somebody
