The Weakness In Me

The Weakness In Me

Melissa Etheridge

I'm not the sort of person
Who falls
In and quickly out of love
But to you I gave my affection
Right from the start

I have a lover
Who loves me
How could I break such a heart
Yet still you get my attention

[00:51.71]Why do you come here
[00:56.47]When you know I've got trouble enough
[01:00.27]Why do you call me
[01:04.80]When you know I can't answer the phone
[01:08.58]
[01:09.26]Make me lie
[01:12.71]When I don't want to
[01:14.81]And make someone else
[01:16.81]Some kind of an unknowing fool
[01:20.49]You make me stay
[01:23.90]When I should not
[01:26.10]Are you so strong
[01:28.34]Or is all the weakness in me
[01:31.12]
[01:31.26]Why do you come here
[01:35.86]And pretend to be just passing by
[01:40.38]When I mean to see you
[01:46.02]And I mean to hold you
[01:51.01]Tightly

Feeling guilty
Worried
Waking from tormented sleep
This old love has me bound
But the new love cuts deep

If I choose now
I'll lose out
One of you has to fall
And I need you
And you
