Take the things you say you want from me
Say ‘what’s mine is yours is mine’
But it’s your way every time
Which of your two faces should I greet?
Tell me how to read your double mind?
And why can’t you be
Why can’t you be true?
Please don’t give up on me
Don’t hang up the phone on me
I’m in the dark all alone
I seem like the enemy
But something inside of me
Locked all the doors and won’t go, oh
I’m never sure which you I can believe
Life with you has worn me thin
Only God knows how hard
Only God knows how hard I’ve tried
Please don’t give up on me
Don’t hang up the phone
While it seems like I hate you, it’s me I despise
Speak to me tenderly
Speak to me truthfully
Cut through the chains of my lies
I just wanna leave
Wanna be safe
And go home
I don’t have what it takes
Oh to love you
Love it always trusts and always hopes
Love it never lets me go
But I’m just a broken heart before you
Caught between the 5’s and 6’s in this rhyme
Love can you find me?
Love can you see me?
Love can you hear me now?
Love don’t give up on me
Don’t hang up the phone on me
Love be the light in the darkest night
Come and reside in me
Fill every part of me
Turn all the wrongs into right
