Pick those splinters, but your eyes are gouged out
Look no further, it's on your conscience
Trail of burning bridges left in your wake
But you keep going back to stir up the embers
(Why do you do me this way?)
If I gave you more than enough, I'll take it back now
As if I gave you no other choice except to back out
And if you think this wasn't your fault, look at the facts now
Had your head so high in the clouds, it's coming back down
But you want to still call it love
Spin that web until your hands are tied down
Tell me it's only human nature
Pull, pull, pull until you get what you want
And then run, run, run until you get away
(Don't you do me that way)
If I gave you more than enough, I'll take it back now
As if I gave you no other choice except to back out
And if you think this wasn't your fault, look at the facts now
Had your head so high in the clouds, it's coming back down
But you want to still call it love
