Everytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossibleEverytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistibleI don't want to lose you to somebody else
But I can't go on contradicting myself
I know that it's pointless to keep hodling on
But something inside tells me you're where I belongEverytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossibleEverytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistibleI know that it's unrealistic to think
That things will get better
Between you and me
'Cause time after timeYou just shatter my heart
But when I'm without you
I feel so torn apartEverytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossibleEverytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistibleBoy
I wish
That I didn't
Love you so
(oh oo oh oo oh oh)I try to tell you no
But you're irresistible
(oh oo oh oo whoah oh)See I only want it to be like it was
When we got together and first fell in love
Sometimes it's like I'm addicted to you
This love's so consuming
I don't know what to doEverytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossibleEverytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you soBut you're irresistibleEverytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossibleEverytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistibleEverytime I try to leave
Something pulls me back baby
Tried and tried to let you go
But it's just impossibleEverytime we say goodbye
Bitter tear drops fill my eyes
Wish I didn't need you so
But you're irresistible
