The Weakness In Me

The Weakness In Me

Melissa Etheridge

I'm not the sort of person

Who falls

In and quickly out of love

But to you I gave my affection

Right from the start

I have a lover

Who loves me

How could I break such a heart

Yet still you get my attention

[00:51.71]Why do you come here

[00:56.47]When you know I've got trouble enough

[01:00.27]Why do you call me

[01:04.80]When you know I can't answer the phone

[01:08.58]

[01:09.26]Make me lie

[01:12.71]When I don't want to

[01:14.81]And make someone else

[01:16.81]Some kind of an unknowing fool

[01:20.49]You make me stay

[01:23.90]When I should not

[01:26.10]Are you so strong

[01:28.34]Or is all the weakness in me

[01:31.12]

[01:31.26]Why do you come here

[01:35.86]And pretend to be just passing by

[01:40.38]When I mean to see you

[01:46.02]And I mean to hold you

[01:51.01]Tightly

Feeling guilty

Worried

Waking from tormented sleep

This old love has me bound

But the new love cuts deep

If I choose now

I'll lose out

One of you has to fall

And I need you

And you
