Give Me a Reason
Buffy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Four o'clock, I still can't find you
Scared of what our love has come to
I wait by the phone and I feel so alone
I care for you
Think about the way your treat me
You care about your friends before me
Taken for granted and left empty handed
I needed you
Wish you could see, how much I did for you and me
And if I could, I would turn all the bad to good

Chorus:
Give me, just give me a reason
Why should I come back to you
If you love me then show me you care
And I'll be there
Give me, just give me a reason
If you love me then show me you care
I'll be there, why should I come back to you

Can't you see how much you hurt me
Too give away your love so easily
I opened my eyes and I saw your lies
Now your on your knees
Think about the way that you treat me
To take you back you got to show me
Say that you love me, so show me you care
And I'll be there
Wish you could see, how much I did for you and me
And if I could, I would turn all the bad to good

Chorus

You know that I loved you but you treated me so bad
You got to change if you want me back
Maybe it won't hit you until you lose the one you have

Give me, just give me a reason
If you love me then show me you care




I'll be there, why should I come back to you
Repeat (4x)
