Verse 1
You seem to taunt me, when I think I’m nearly through
You know what to say to me, and always what to do
Just when I think I’m free, I feel the hooks sink in
Once again I’m caught on you, and forgotten everything
All the nights of anger, and saying that I’m done
Disappear in moments, click your fingers and I run
Too long to say you cared, when you through it all away
Once again I’m caught on you, and forgotten yesterday
Pre-Chorus
Even though when I think of you, I live through all this pain
You’re like my secret drug, I’m addicted once again
I see me fall apart, I can never get enough
Last night I was hating you, but there’s always one more chance, just another
Verse 2
Every time that I think you care, you leave me in the lurch
My trust so broken yeah, it can barely even hurt
I know you fake it, but it always seem so true
Maybe you should change careers, there’s an Oscar there for you
Too late to apologise, even though you never would
Get your kicks from taunting me, when I thought you never could
I write these songs for you instead of saying how I feel
Once again I’m caught on you, like a sickness I am ill
Chorus
I die every time I see you, and I cry, change time I’d never meet you
I lie when I say I’m ok, I lie every time I start a new day
Just need someone to save me
I die every time I see you, and I cry, change time I’d never meet you
I lie when I say I’m ok, it’s just a temporary lie
Just to keep me going through the days
