Lyrics
Contradictions
(c)2012 Casia - lyrics
Benny Moore - composition, arrangement
Henry Mittnacht - guitar
Mike - bass
You say that you want me
No questions asked
But soon enough
You're walking past
All of the places
That meant so much
With no second glances
With no second touch
CHORUS
Baby...
Every time I open my eyes
I see the contradictions you've disguised
Every time I give you my heart
Your contradictions leave their painful secret scars
I've tried to love you
And I've tried to forget
I've tried to imagine
That we never met
Pushed to the edge
I've been here before
But your perfect kisses
Got me praying for more
CHORUS
(Bridge)
How could I fall in love so deep
When all you do is keep me crying
With all promises you don't keep
Can't you see how you got me dying
The sun's in my eyes
But I can't look away
As I try to remember
Why I ever wanted to stay
CHORUS
