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

Dragging my feet along, wondering 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 leaving, I couldn't believe it

Suddenly the truth became so clear

Cause everything I dreamed of wasn't even real love

Was I just a fool to hold you dear

Why did you touch me then, like you wanted me

Is that how you treat a friend, a lover for free

I've been to hell and back, trying hard to see

Where you get off

Wandering through the street, thinking 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 missing you

You told me you were leaving, I couldn't believe it

Suddenly the truth became so clear

Cause everything I dreamed of wasn't even real love

Was I just a fool to hold you dear

Why did you touch me then, like you wanted me

Is that how you treat a friend, a lover for free

Cause I've been to hell and back, trying hard to see

Where you get off

And why did 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

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 they'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

And why did you touch me then like you wanted me

Is that how you treat a friend, a lover for free

Cause I've been to hell and back, trying hard to see

Where you get off

And 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

Where you get off
