Lyrics

I'd like to run away from you

I wish to escape from you

But if you never found me I would cry

If you never found me, I would be sad

I'd like to break the chains you put around me

I want to break free from the emotional constraints you've imposed

But I know I never will

Realizing that breaking free is unlikely

You stay away and all I do

When you're not around, all I do is wonder why I still wait for you

Is wonder why the hell I wait for you

Expressing confusion about waiting despite the challenges

But when did common sense prevail

Questioning when common sense prevails in love

For lovers when we knew it never will

Realizing that common sense may never prevail in their love

Impossible to live with you

It's difficult to live with you

But I know I could never live without you

Yet acknowledging it's impossible to live without you

For whatever you do

Regardless of your actions

I never never never want to be in love with anyone but you

Expressing an unwavering desire to be in love only with the person


You never treat me like you should

You don't treat me as you should

So what's the good of loving as I do

Questioning the value of love in this situation

Although you always laugh at love

Notwithstanding your disregard for love

Nothing else would be good enough for you

Believing that nothing else is good enough for you

Impossible to live with you but I know I could never live without you

Reiterating the difficulty of living with you

For whatever you do

Yet acknowledging the impossibility of living without you

I never never never want to be in love with anyone but you

Reaffirming the exclusive desire to love only that person


you make me laugh

Acknowledging the emotional impact of the relationship

You make me cry

Expressing the mixed emotions induced by the person

You make me live

Describing the varied experiences caused by the person

You make me sad for you

Feeling sorrowful for the person

You make me sing

Being inspired to sing by the person

You make me sad

Feeling sadness in the relationship

You make me glad

Experiencing joy because of the person

You make me mad for you

Feeling anger for the person


I love you, hate you, love you, hate you, but I want you till the world stops turning

Expressing a conflicting mix of love and hate, but the desire remains

For whatever you do

Regardless of your actions

I never never never want to be in love with anyone but you

Persistently wanting to love only that person
