I Don't Want You To Love Me, If You Don't Want To Love Me

Phone rings,
Don't wanna pick it up,
I'm so scared,
I'm gonna say to much,

I tiptoe around your questions,
Why you gotta dig so deep?

Tears fall,
Glasses break,
Inside these walls,
The floor boards shake,

From outside,
It's alright,
Long as your looking from fifty feet,

I've been trying, trying,
Hold my head up high,
I've been lying, lying,
Keeping it all inside,
Trying not to trust you, yeah...

Take another leaf, I'm broke yeah?
I'm done, I give up,
I don't wanna pretend no more,
That's it, so what,
I've lost a friend before,
Gonna say it like it is,
No more wondering what if,
That ain't the way you oughta live,

Cause I don't want you to love me,
If you don't want to love me for me,
Cause I don't want you to love me,
If you don't want to love me for me,

A doll house is all you could see,
But that's so far from my reality,

I got problems, I got issues,
Sometimes it's all to much for me,

Wrap it up with a pretty little bow,
But there are some things you can't sugarcoat,
Give it to ya anyways,
Even though it won't taste so sweet,

I've been trying, trying,
To hold my head up high,
I've been lying, lying,
Keeping it all inside,
Maybe I could trust ya yeah...

Take another leaf, I'm broke yeah?
I'm done, I give up,
I don't wanna pretend no more,
That's it, so what,
I've lost a friend before,
Gonna say it like it is,
No more wondering what if,
That ain't the way you oughta live,

Cause I don't want you to love me,
If you don't want to love me for me,

I'm sick of all the fighting,
All the slamming of the doors,
The pain, the parents, to deep you know,

Step back, step back,
Can you see it through my eyes?

I know, I know,
Maybe a surprise,

Don't wanna be perceived for something that I'm not,
Just want to be accepted for the little that I got,
If you could see me know in my glass house,
Not ready to let you in,

I'm done, I give up,
Don't wanna pretend no more,
That's it, so what,
I've lost a friend before,
Gonna say it like it is,
No more wondering what if,
That ain't the way you oughta live,

Cause I don't want you to love me,
If you don't want to love me for me,
