Can't understand why I'm focused on you
I can't understand why you make me so confused
Everyday's a struggle and I'm trynna break through
But I can't get my mind, get my mind off of you
I wanna let you go
And I wanna break free
But it's like you're right there haunting me
I know I said get out and I know I said leave
But baby I don't want you free
I know this ain't fair
And I know this ain't right
I wanna trust you
And I don't wanna fight
You don't want me to suffer well then why you gotta lie
You don't want me to suffer well then why you make me cry
It's the way that you move
And that look in your eye
And that grin when you talk
And the way that you smile
Makes me weak and I can't let you go
So what am I to do? Baby I don't know cause
You're the one

Oh, I just can't let you go cause

Oh, I just can't say no
That's just what I do yea I run right back to you
Cause that's just how we do you know we're never really through
Same damn story it's the same damn thing
Saying stupid things I'm taking off that ring
Round and around and around we go
Got you saying things like don't walk out that door
But if I don't leave now I'll do something I regret
Then the blames on you
So just save your breathe
But I'm trippin, and a stumbling and a falling over you
Trynna break away
But it ain't easy leaving you
Got me doing things I thought I never thought I'd do
Going back on my word
That ain't something that I do
I don't wanna be who you wanted me to be
I need to be free feeling like I'm doing me
So I try to let you go but I run right back
Well that's just what it is
Yea that's just what it is
Cause

You're the one boy
You're the one
Oh, I just can't let you go cause

Every time I leave ya I'm doing wrong

You gotta know sadness to learn how to fight
You gotta be brave gotta push right through
