This song means a lot to me. Not only did I cry the first 50 times I heard it (more like played it over and over again), but I also took it on as a challenge for my vocal range. So much fun to do, I hope you like it!
lyrics
It could all be so simple
But you'd rather make it hard
Loving you is like a battle
And we both end up with scars
Tell me, who I have to be
To get some reciprocity?
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
And when I try to walk away, you hurt yourself to make me stay
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
No one hurts 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
It ain't working
And when I try to walk away, you'd hurt yourself to make me stay
This is crazy
THIS is crazy!
Care for me care for me,
I know you care for me
There for me, there for me
Said you'd be there for me
Cry for me, cry for me
you said you'd die for me
Give to me, give to me
Why don't you live for me
Where were you when I needed you?
