Lyrics
I Want You There
I guess you like that chip on your shoulder more than you like me.
That?s the way it seems.
Maybe that chip on your shoulder
is a better friend, I could walk out the door,
but that anchor is yours.
If I didn?t care so much I wouldn?t care,
but when you are in front of me
I want you there.
I guess you like your addictions
more than you like me, that?s the way it seems. Your addictions may be a better friend,
I am through with your bullshit,
but your addictions crave it.
If I didn?t care so much I wouldn?t care,
but when you are in front of me
I want you there.
You can watch me cry, but I won?t stand by
and watch you choose your lie.
If I didn?t care so much I wouldn?t care,
but when you are in front of me
I want you there.
