Make Me Cry

batter up, would you tell me which way i’m supposed to swing
wrap it up, cause i’m not supposed to say that sort of thing
it’s bad enough, i think there’s no one out there like me
but times are tough, and i got so much more to say

i’m giving up trying to be the thing i never think i’ll be
i’m putting back everything that’s laid down right in front of me
fair enough, i think that someone out there likes me
so curtains up, cause i’m ready to begin for real

i know i left you sobbing on the floor
you can beg and plead until your knees are sore
baby, life can be so cruel i know and turn you on your head
but still i’m moving on, i’m moving out
and this time what i say is what i mean

i couldn’t have loved any more
i wish i’d known this before
but i know we can’t take back our trash,
we’ve thrown it all away
baby, it’s your turn to make me cry

now times have changed and i should be singing all apologies
my mistake, but making mistakes is my philosophy
i know you thought that you knew everything about me
well, me too, but the truth does not stand still, my dear

i know i left you coming back for more
and you can curse at me until your lips are sore
baby, life can be so cruel i know and turn you on your head
but still i’m getting gone, i’m getting out
and this time what i say is what i mean

i couldn’t have loved any more
i wish i’d known this before
but i know we can’t take back our trash,
we’ve thrown it all away
baby, it’s your turn to make me cry

yes, I know i left you sobbing on the floor
and you can ask me what the hell this all was for
baby, life can be so cruel i know and turn you on your head
but still i’m turning loose, i’m coming out
and this time what i say is what i say and what i say is what i mean

i couldn’t have loved any more
i wish i’d known this before
but i know we can’t take back our trash
we’ve thrown it all away
baby, it’s your turn to wake me up
i’ll let you overtake me
baby, it’s your turn to make me cry
