Lately, I got this problem
Seems like every time we talk I can't get through to you
And baby, it seems that lately
You want a guy like me but you don't want a guy like me

You tell me you need me
That he'll never be me
But I've just learned to look the other way

Are we friends, are we lovers
What's it look like to others?
You know it really just doesn't compute
Do you want some affection or just some attention, baby
Can't be your substitute

Maybe, you'll tell me one day
You've opened up your eyes and seen the error of your way
But baby, I think that maybe
When that day comes, I'll have moved on, this will blow up in your face

You tell me you want me
Those words, oh they haunt me
I can't put faith in anything you say

Why do we even bother when we know that there's no other
That could put up with the drama that we go through all the time
My friends say I'm too lenient, situation's too convenient
And we'd finally just end it if you'd make up your damned mind

You tell me you're sorry
Your eyes get all starry
You're such a good actress, I am so done with this
