Unproud of the things I do

Maybe I′m a fool

I don't deserve this

The things that you do

Maybe you′re the fool

You don't deserve me

At my best

Even through my worst

You should be here

But your presence remains distant

You're so close to me

Yet you don′t even know me

Back and forth

You play pretend

These games you play they never end

I′m trying my best to hold up my defense

What can I do to understand

Wondering where your lovin' went

Too difficult

Saying what′s on my mind

But easy for me to trust in words

Most of the time

And I

Just wanna be loved, wanna be loved, wanna be loved by you

And you're so close to me

Yet you don′t even know me

Back and forth

You play pretend

These games you play they never end

I'm trying my best to hold up my defense

What can I do to understand

Wondering where your lovin′ went

Sometimes I wish that we were just a little bit closer

Someday I hope you'll let me lay my head on your shoulder

They say you'll know a little better when you grow older

But all we got′s a love that only seems to get colder

You′re so close to me

Yet you don't even know me

Back and forth

You play pretend

These games you play they never end

I′m trying my best to hold up my defense

What can I do to understand

Wondering where your lovin' went

You′re so close to me

Yet you don't even know me

Back and forth

You play pretend

These games you play they never end

I′m trying my best to hold up my defense

What can I do to understand

Wondering where your lovin' went
