You keep me down in a stranglehold
And I walk around with my head held low
God forbid I do the things you do
Cause I know
If I'd raised my voice when I spoke to you
Leaving me would be the first thing you'd
choose But I'd stick around hoping you'd change
But you don't
I'll let you walk all over me
Rip out my eyes so I can't see That I
gave my all and you made me the jerk
Loving me back could have made it all
Could have swallowed your pride for one more
chance Alone in New York in strangers' hands
After all I gave to you
Loving me back was the least you could do
You keep my heart in a rusty cage Do
nothing but sit with this pent-up rage
I'd rather have nothing than one single memory we made
There's just too much that I can't leave behind
So I'll put up with all these sleepless nights
I'll let you walk all
over me
Rip out my
eyes so I can't see
That I gave my all and you made me the
jerk Loving me back could have made it all
Could have swallowed your pride for one
more chance Alone in New York in strangers'
hands
I
wish I could tell you why I'm really staying But truth be told,
I don't know
Cause this ship is sinking And I wish that I could just leave this
But I guess it's not
realistic So I'll let you walk all over me
