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




Why do you come here


When you know I've got trouble enough


Why do you call me


When you know I can't answer the phone





Make me lie


When I don't want to


And make someone else


Some kind of an unknowing fool


You make me stay


When I should not


Are you so strong


Or is all the weakness in me





Why do you come here


And pretend to be just passing by


When I mean to see you


And I mean to hold you


Tightly



Feeling guilty

Worried
