Well ain't that just like you
When it's going right you take a hard left
Right back to those old wounds
You open them up again
cnd now she's crying at the table
Cause that sweetheart that you gave her
You keep on giving it back
Why do you keep doing that

Every time you love you love a little less
You can't give away what you can't accept
You got one foot out the door
One is hoping still
There's a chance you might finally change
But you both know you never will
It ain't no use
Trying to love a girl if you won't let a girl love you

The last time that you did
Give a girl everything you had
She took off with the wind
She never told you why
cnd that's why you're back here again
Still stuck on believing
That if she's gonna end up leaving
You might as well give her the reason

Every time you love you love a little less
You can't give away what you can't accept
You got one foot out the door
One is hoping still
There's a chance you might finally change
But you both know you never will
It ain't no use
Trying to love a girl if you won't let a girl love you

The man in the mirror's got some questions
Will you ever learn your lesson
Look me in the eye
Boy can you tell me why

Every time you love you love a little less
You can't give away what you can't accept
You got one foot out the door
One is hoping still
There's a chance you might finally change
But you both know you never will
It ain't no use
Trying to love a girl if you won't let a girl love you
It just ain't no use
Trying to love a girl if you won't let a girl love you
