Song Lyrics

Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong
Every time I call your name
I know you're gone
Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong
Every time I come your way
I know you're gone

I can feel it
Every time you look my way
I can feel it
Guess I need a lifestyle change
'Cause you told me once
That you only can give so much
Should've known our love
Was hopeless

Now I'm out on a limb, I see
There's no fruit on the empty tree
Keep on wishing, but it won't be
I know it

Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong
Every time I call your name
I know you're gone
Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong
Every time I come your way
I know you're gone

Now I know it
(Well how do you feel?)
Like there's nothing I can do
Caught up in a game where I'm the fool
Still, I'd rather play until I lose
Try to go out but it don't compare
Talk too much, now my friends don't care
Just another toy for you to play with
'Cause you know I'm always there

Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong
Every time I call your name
I know you're gone
Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong
Every time I come your way
I know you're gone

In the dead of summer
I just need something
To distract me from the way that it was
Used to be easy
Had your attention freely
Now you play with me till you've had enough

Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong
Every time I call your name
You're always gone
Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong
Every time I come your way
You're always gone

Why you gotta play with me?
You know you're wrong
Every time I come your way
You're always gone
You're always gone
I'm always lost
In the forcefield
That you put on me

I'm like, sheesh, sheesh
Call on the police (brrr)
I'm like, sheesh, sheesh
Call on the police
