Lyrics
You say you know me
You say you know my ways
And then you show me your playing silly games
How could you know me when were feeling so estranged
And when we touch it just doesn?t feel the same
1 in the morning it?s really getting late
Your gonna call me to see if I?m awake
While your out with your lover
Or out on a binge
Ordering doubles and drinking your revenge
Chorus
Just try not to hurt me
When I?m trying to let you in
I don?t wanna fight you, I?m trying to be your friend
And I want to help you
?Cause I understand
How hard it is to find your way again
Your coming home now
Let?s set the record straight
I want you to know
That my heart?s not full of hate
So please can you show me
And please show me now
If there?s still love here
To help us work this out
Chorus
