I SPENT A LIFETIME LOOKING FOR SOMEONE LIKE YOU

YOU BROKE MY HEART AND NOW I HAVE TO DO WHAT I DO

I GAVE MY LOVE TO YOU DARLING

IT WAS A BACKLASH
IN AND OUT MY DOOR
USING ME FOR FUN?NOTHIN MORE
NOW I?M AN OUTCAST
OUTSIDE LOOKIN IN
YOU?VE GIVIN HER YOUR HEART ONCE AGAIN

VERSE 2.

YOU CAME HERE BEGGING FOR ME TO TAKE YOU BACK AGAIN

MY LOVE FOR YOU WAS SO STRONG THAT I GAVE IN AGAIN

I TOOK YOU BACK NOW I?M CRYING
CAUSE ALL ALONG YOU?VE BEEN LYING
