lyrics

Oh you take, take, take what you need
then you hit the road
I shouldn't be surprised, that's how our story goes.
Time and time again, I've opened up my door,
even though I know it'll end with you walking out just like before.

Wish I could explain it, I wish I could change it, this hold you have over me oh it's not how love's supposed to be. I can't deny it, I've tried to fight it, but you pull me down like gravity and I seem to have a heart with no memory.

You can try, try, try an pretend
that it's different now.
Don't waste your words, it wouldn't matter anyhow.
Once I've seen your smile, once I've heard your voice,
I'd be a fool to act like I even have a choice.

If I could explain it, I wish I could change it, this hold you have over me oh it's not how love's supposed to be. I can't deny it, I've tried to fight it, but you pull me down like gravity and I seem to have a heart with
no memory.

No memory of the tears I've cried, no memory of the reasons why
I should've made you go and stay gone.
I feel your lips upon my neck, it's so easy to forget all the ways you've done me wrong.
So keep on, keep on, keep on and take, take, take what you need.

I can't explain it, I wish I could change it, this hold you have over me oh it's not how love's supposed to be. I can't deny it, I've tried to fight it, but you pull me down like gravity and I seem to have a heart with
no memory.
