One last time
I tell myself every time
But always return to the scene of the crime
Just like a ghost to the place where they died
Cause you make me yearn to be refused
You intimate hope for a life you won't choose
Keep me around just keep you amused
Won't you please cut me loose?
I'm bleeding out slowly
But you keep me alive
I'm pleading for mercy
But you won't let me die
If you're not in love with me
Just tell me so
And stop reeling me in
And then letting me go
It can't be the chase you love cause I've never run
It can't be a game cause you've already won
I feel like a dog at the races
Who futilely chases what's endlessly just out of reach
You make me yearn to be abused
You suture me up just to open new wounds
And how is it I'm neither numb nor immune?
And why when you call can I never refuse?
I'm bleeding out slowly
But you keep me alive
I'm pleading for mercy
But you won't let me die
If you're not in love with me
Just tell me so
And stop reeling me in, and then letting me go
Why don't you love me the way that I do?
Why don't you need me the way I need you?
How many years have I wasted, hoping you'll change when
You never will
You never will
You never will, forever you're just
Reeling me in, reeling me in, and letting me go
You steal the life from me
Shake all that I believe
But I can't leave you no,
I'll always need you so
I love you more than words
It's more than you deserve
You're stringing me along
Like grabbing onto fog
But all I catch is mist
What little of you sticks
Then you dry up and you're gone,
And I'm again alone
And on and on it goes
Forever it unfolds
We're fated I suppose
To always play these roles
Reeling me in, reeling me in, and letting me go
I tell myself every time
But always return to the scene of the crime
Just like a ghost to the place where they died
Cause you make me yearn to be refused
You intimate hope for a life you won't choose
Keep me around just keep you amused
Won't you please cut me loose?
I'm bleeding out slowly
But you keep me alive
I'm pleading for mercy
But you won't let me die
If you're not in love with me
Just tell me so
And stop reeling me in
And then letting me go
It can't be the chase you love cause I've never run
It can't be a game cause you've already won
I feel like a dog at the races
Who futilely chases what's endlessly just out of reach
You make me yearn to be abused
You suture me up just to open new wounds
And how is it I'm neither numb nor immune?
And why when you call can I never refuse?
I'm bleeding out slowly
But you keep me alive
I'm pleading for mercy
But you won't let me die
If you're not in love with me
Just tell me so
And stop reeling me in, and then letting me go
Why don't you love me the way that I do?
Why don't you need me the way I need you?
How many years have I wasted, hoping you'll change when
You never will
You never will
You never will, forever you're just
Reeling me in, reeling me in, and letting me go
You steal the life from me
Shake all that I believe
But I can't leave you no,
I'll always need you so
I love you more than words
It's more than you deserve
You're stringing me along
Like grabbing onto fog
But all I catch is mist
What little of you sticks
Then you dry up and you're gone,
And I'm again alone
And on and on it goes
Forever it unfolds
We're fated I suppose
To always play these roles
Reeling me in, reeling me in, and letting me go
