Lyrics

Why Can?t You Love Me

Verse 1

I can?t believe what you?re saying to me
Can?t believe you have the audacity
What did I do to make you say you have to leave
Could it be all this time I?ve been naïve
Remember when you said there were things about me I should change
Love is about compromise, so my life I tried to rearrange
Oh how I tried, but all I could be was me
And now you say you?re leaving me
And I don?t understand

Chorus

What else can I give
Who do you want me to be
Why won?t you just love me for me
Please talk to me
Explain to me why my love?s not enough
Why I?m not good enough for you
Can?t you just love me like I love you

Verse 2

You say you?re just not in love with me
And that you found someone who makes you complete
But yesterday you said I was all you need
Today you decide to make my heart bleed
What does she have that would negate my love
What did she do to erase my devotion
Don?t you dare walk away from me
Don?t turn your back on me
Until you explain

Chorus

What else can I give
Who do you want me to be
Why won?t you just love me for me
Please talk to me
Explain to me why my love?s not enough
Why I?m not good enough for you
Can?t you just love me like I love you

Bridge

Oh God it?s not fair to love and not be loved in return
And oh God how it feels to have nothing else left to give
To not be what he needs
To feel such agony
And oh such pain
Please tell me why

Chorus

What else can I give
Who do you want me to be
Why won?t you just love me for me
Please talk to me
Explain to me why my love?s not enough
Why I?m not good enough for you
Can?t you just love me like I love you
