I hate to see you lying there, curled up in a ball
I hate to smash your pretty face against the fucking wall
But I m a desperate man girl, I m down on my knees

I hate to see you crying, hate to see those tears
But you re the one who s sitting there just tossing out the years
Why you doing this? Why you wanna go?
Won t you ever understand? You re my woman, and I m your man

And everytime I hear your name
The floodgates open, blood it rains
And I can t see where I went wrong
You can t leave while I m not strong

I can see you run and hide - oh baby won t you ever let me
See you run and hide - oh baby won t you ever
Let me live my life
Cause I m afraid I just don t love you

So pick yourself on up girl, straighten yourself out
Pick up all the wasted years, you re so torn about
Put them back girl, back in the shelf
On the shelf yeah
You and me will be forever, I m your hero, and you re my treasure

And everytime I hear your name
The floodgates open, blood it rains
And I can t see where I went wrong
You can t leave while I m not strong

I can see you run and hide - oh baby won t you ever let me
See you run and hide - oh baby won t you ever
Let me live my life
Cause I m afraid I just don t love you

And everytime I hear your name
The floodgates open, blood it rains
And I can t see where I went wrong
You can t leave while I m not strong

I can see you run and hide - oh baby won t you ever let me
See you run and hide - oh baby won t you ever
Let me live my life
Cause I m afraid I just don t love you
