The Sidelines

Just one more hit and then I promise I'll quit
By God it hurts, but I can't live without it

When will you take me seriously
Or are you checked out of the station
Do you even care about me?

I find it so hard to believe that
every night, you can't stop thinking about me
Yet when my phone rings and it's half past nine,
You're getting tired and I'm crying on the other line

I'm chasing after her like it's a dream
It's got me feeling low,
Always down on my self-esteem

I want to love you with all that I am
But I'm scared of you leaving
Please don't say we're breaking up the band.

This isn't like you, I'm missing the old you.
Tell me I'm crazy, tell me I'm out of my mind.

I'd like to be with you but I'm out of time.
I'm still cheering us on from the sidelines.

Why don't you want me?
Why don't you need me?
Are you tired of feeding me your love?
Are you ready to give up?

Say I adore you
Or is it I bore you,
With all of my insecurities
With always putting me at ease

Even though you are so cruel
Even though you treat me poor
There's not a mountain I wouldn't climb
To feel your love once more
