Jess King - Where You Get Off Lyrics

Why do you build me up
Just to tear me down
How am I not enough
To make your heart pound
Why am I bothering,
Struggling to see
Where you get off

Draggin' my feet along,
Wonderin' where you've gone
Are you out there in the rain
Or are you with somebody
Do you think of me when no one else is there,
Or am I just gone

You told me you were leavin'
I couldn't believe it,
Suddenly the truth became so clear
'Cause everything I dreamed of
Wasn't even real love
Was just a I fool to hold you dear

Why did you touch me then,
Like you wanted me
Is that you treat a friend, a lover for free
'Cause I've been to hell and back
Tryin' hard to see, where you get off

Wanderin' through the street,
Thinkin' how we might meet
How you might change your mind,
You know that you still have time
I've been so alone, out here on my own
Can't help missin' you

You told me you were leavin'
I couldn't believe it,
Suddenly the truth became so clear
'Cause everything I dreamed of
Wasn't even real love
Was just a I fool to hold you dear

Why did you touch me then,
Like you wanted me
Is that you treat a friend, a lover for free
'Cause I've been to hell and back
Tryin' hard to see, where you get off

Why did you build me up,
Just to tear me down
How am I not enough to make your heart pound
Why am I botherin',
Strugglin' to see

And when I close my eyes
I fantasize that we're together
Somewhere deep inside
I still believe it could be true
It isn't all in my head,
'Cause there're the things that you said
That keep on leading me back to you
IF you don't mean them,
Why'd you promise me they're true

Why did you touch me then,
Like you wanted me
Is that you treat a friend, a lover for free
'Cause I've been to hell and back
Tryin' hard to see, where you get off

Why did you build me up,
Just to tear me down
How am I not enough to make your heart pound
Why am I botherin',
Strugglin' to see
