Singing the Blues

I'm not gonna wait on the side
It hurts and I can't deny
But what you did was un-tasteful
Your words are deceitful

You think you deserve what you get
But this ain't love or respect
You're like a rip tide
Pulling me back in your side

You get what you get
You say my name
I come right back
Baby I would do it all again
I can't have you
But I want you

You're emotionally blind
I don't know why
I can't fix us but I want to try
I'm standing here in front of you
Why can't you see me singing the blues

You hold me closer
At least we play poker
Say I deserve better
Then why don't you be a contender?
Show me you love me
Cause if you say it so dearly
I might cut off your tongue
To remember the pattern it sung

You get what you get
You say my name
I come right back
Baby I would do it all again
I can't have you
But I want you

You're emotionally blind
I don't know why
I can't fix us but I want to try
I'm standing here in front of you
Why can't you see me singing the blues

Listen

The feelings so strong I can actually taste it
But you knew and you let me burn how invasive (Listen)

You were scared and insecure
So you hurt me instead
And you forced yourself to blur
Me out of your bed
Outta your head, wishin' instead
You never met me cause I made you see
What we could be or maybe
You weren't the one

Maybe I just wanted to run
Self destructive
Maybe I was always cracked
But I'll blame you for that

You get what you get
You say my name
I come right back
Baby I would do it all again
I can't have you
But I want you

You're emotionally blind
I don't know why
I can't fix us but I want to try
I'm standing here in front of you
Why can't you see me singing the blues
