Lyrics

Well, it ain't supposed to hurt like this
Seems every time I aim and miss
I'm getting kind of tired of this town

"Honey," they say, "don't you know
Sometimes you've gotta let it go"
Well, all I ever do is bring me down

So why do you stand there
Looking like you could stand there for the rest of your life?
I'm pulling out my hair
But you take hold of my hands and save me from my own strife

CHORUS
Baby, I don't think you see
How much it hurts when you care for me
And I don't think you know
How much I'm waiting for you to let go
But you won't
And I wonder, could you be the one I count on?
I've got this hunger for a love that I can lean on
Just say sweet things 'til I believe you
But don't let go and leave me alone
'Cause it's been a bad day

Driving down this lonely street
I thought my pain might be discreet
I'm getting kind of tired of holding on

I tried to take it on myself
Toss my feelings on the shelf
The tears ran dry and all the anger's gone

So how do you come here
And tear down those walls that I'd built so long ago?
You seem so sincere
You make me smile even when I'd rather be cold

CHORUS
Baby, I don't think you see
How much it hurts when you care for me
And I don't think you know
How much I'm waiting for you to let go
But you won't
And I wonder, could you be the one I count on?
I've got this hunger for a love that I can lean on
Just say sweet things 'til I believe you
But don't let go and leave me alone
'Cause it's been a bad day

I'm all broken bones and bruises
You're all picture perfect limbs
And I know I'm in your way
But I needed you today

And I don't think you see
How much it hurts when you care for me
And I don't think you know
How much I'm waiting for you to let go
But you won't
And I wonder, could you be the one I count on?
I've got this hunger for a love that I can lean on
And even though I bring you down
You just keep on coming 'round

CHORUS
Baby, I don't think you see
How much it hurts when you care for me
And I don't think you know
How much I'm waiting for you to let go
But you won't
And I wonder, could you be the one I count on?
I've got this hunger for a love that I can lean on
Just say sweet things 'til I believe you
But don't let go and leave me alone
'Cause it's been a bad day
