lyrics

You now the silly little things you say
They’re leaving me without a clue
You know the stupid little things you do
They’re making me want somebody new
I really don’t know how long I can fake it
Babe I really can’t take it much more
But when your crying starts to ruin your makeup
Just don’t know if I can walk out that door

When you’re hanging me up with your fake little tears
You’re holding me down with your sad soaking eyes
Hanging me up with your hopes and your fears
You’re holding me down with the way that you cry

Really don’t know why I’m hanging around
I should have left a long time ago
Maybe it’s all of your prescription pills
Making my brain work too slow
Or maybe it’s the way you move your body
You know of it I just can’t get enough
But when reality kicks me in the teeth
I realize I don’t need none of that stuff

(Chorus)

But when you call me at midnight
Saying baby call 911!
I realize a whole lot sooner
That I should’ve just cut out and run
Well suicide’s never the answer
You really should know by now
That I just can’t leave you hanging up
You know I don’t know how

(Chorus)

Hanging me up with your fake little tears
You’re holding me down with your sad soaking eyes
Hanging me up with your hopes and your fears
You’re holding me down with the way that you cry
You’re holding me down till the day that I die baby
