What can I do to make you leave me alone?
Gotta convince you my heart's made out of stone.
What can I say to make you go away?
What is gonna be the price I have to pay?
Whenever I hear you, when I hear your voice,
My soul knows it ain't got a choice.
And I can't help it, I can't help myself.
It's the cruelty of kindness feeding itself.
Cause whenever I hold you, when I hold you close,
Your smile tells me I'm the one you need the most.
And I want to help you, support you, protect you...
This has to stop. Oh God, just take the hint, get a clue.
What can I do to make you leave me alone?
Gotta convince you my heart's made out of stone.
What can I say to make you go away?
What is gonna be the price I have to pay?
Whenever I see you, when I see your face,
I feel my heartbeat start to-
No, just give it a rest! Hear the pain in my chest?
Stop trying to put my feelings to the test.
Cause whenever I take you, take your hand in mine,
I keep lying, I keep telling myself it's fine,
Like I want you to know the gift of love and affection.
Damn it, why? My kindness shouldn't be in our connection.
What can I do to make you leave me alone?
Gotta convince you my heart's made out of stone.
What can I say to make you go away?
What is gonna be the price I have to pay?
I know that I've got to quit stalling.
I don't want to see your face falling.
Get out of my head! Stop this recalling!
I'll push you away even if it hurts you!
You say you loved me from the start.
You beg me not to break your heart.
This feeling's tearing you apart.
But it tears me apart to say I love you too...
Cause whenever I taste you, taste the scent in the air,
I forget myself, forget I'm not supposed to care!
And I want you, want you, want you, want you under my skin!
I'm falling even deeper into the hell of sin!
What can I do to make you leave me alone?
Gotta convince you my heart's made out of stone...
What can I say to make you go away?
What is gonna be the price I have to pay?
What can I do to make you leave me alone?
Gotta convince you my heart's made out of stone!
What can I say to make you go away?
What is gonna be the price I have to pay?
