[Verse 1] Every time you get away from me, I wish you’d stay with me But when you’re here I disappear, waiting till you leave Tell me if you feel the same, do I drive you insane? You want me gone but later on you’re calling out my name [Pre-Chorus 1] You are too perfect the way that you love me is a way I do not deserve Too much of anything even something you need Still wears you down till it hurts [Chorus] So even though it hurts like hell, I’m just a little overwhelmed So I’m gonna let you shine for someone else Stand by someone else Go try someone else So even though I want no love better than the one that I’m giving up I cannot keep it all to myself Stand by someone else Go try someone else [Verse 2] And I know that I’ll regret it soon, the way I’m losing you To the arms of someone that can better handle you Kinda drove me crazy how, when I wrote you down You’d look good on paper but I couldn’t keep you round [Pre-Chorus 2] You are a handful, boy my only downfall was that I just couldn’t keep up
Candy that’s too sweet will only rot your teeth At what point have you had enough? [Chorus] So even though it hurts like hell, I’m just a little overwhelmed So I’m gonna let you shine for someone else Stand by someone else Go try someone else So even though I want no love better than the one that I’m giving up I cannot keep it all to myself Stand by someone else Go try someone else [Bridge] Go smother someone (somebody, somebody, somebody, please) Other than me I just couldn’t (somebody, somebody, somebody, please) Be all that you need Smother someone (somebody, somebody, somebody, please) Other than me I just couldn’t, couldn’t be all that you need [Chorus] So even though it hurts like hell, I’m just a little overwhelmed So I’m gonna let you shine for someone else Stand by someone else Go try someone else So even though I want no love better than the one that I’m giving up I cannot keep it all to myself Stand by someone else Go try someone else
