If I lied to you
Would it turn you on?
Would you want me more
If I was gone?
And if I stayed out late
Would you wonder why?
If I was cruel to you
Would it keep you mine?

All the ways I try to love you
They only serve to prove
That it's never going to matter how much I do
I break my heart in pieces
I never quite get through
Loving you is the worst way to get to you
Loving you is the worst way

I try to give you space
To set you free
Try to make you feel safe
Beside me
I loved you late in the night
In the morning
In the bathroom mirror
I loved you the whole damn time
Right now, right here

And all the ways I try to love you
They only serve to prove
That it's never going to matter how much I do
I break my heart in pieces
I never quite get through
Loving you is the worst way to get to you
Loving you is the worst way

Whatever it is you need
I can't find it
It's the same babe
I'm just tired

All the ways I try to love you
They only serve to prove
That it's never going to matter how much I do
I think I know the reason I never quite get through
It's 'cause loving you is the worst way to get to you
Loving you is the worst way to get to you
Why is loving you the worst way?
