single, hopefully it will be soon.

lyrics:

verse:
when you've had enough
when you've got it bad enough
and you cant let go
when it comes to blows
and you start to overflow
and you cant get home

pre-chorus:
it's a subtle kind of cruel
it taps my spine
here I'm drawing a line
I'm asking you please

chorus:
don't you want to be happy with me?
don't you want to be happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon, I'll turn sadder than you
ever were
and you'll learn loneliness is worse
you've got to try

verse:
December's all alone
and hes calling me on the phone
but he sounds so cold
he says he loves me so
but how would i ever know
certain words grow old

pre-chorus:
it's a vicious kind of catch
it sides me blind
now I'm out of my mind
I want to scream

chorus:

bridge:
love liked me long ago
it had a way of making everyone the same
but now the angels must laugh and sigh
to hear me pleading with you
and needing you this way oh why

chorus:
don't you want to be happy with me?
don't you want to be happy with me?
I'm afraid if you don't come around soon
I'll turn sadder than you ever were
and you'll learn loneliness is worse
you've gotta try to stay mine all the way

chorus:

ending:
it's got a way of making everyone the same (ahhhh)
