Lyrics
We gotta get away, gotta get away...
VERSE
Here you go again, lookin' through my phonebook for other girls' names/
I've been with you three years, now my whole world's changed/
you used to take care of me when I was sick, and hold me/
and now you've become a possessive, jealous control freak/
I recall back when you would give me my space/n
ow you curse me out, slap me, and spit in my face/
all the good times are gone, the joy is forgotten/
and part of it is my fault for spoiling you rotten/
everytime I step out, you want an explaination/
so what's your definition of trust, interrogation?/
no basis for the accusation, only speculation/
I didn't pick up the phone, so what I kept you waiting/
I'm tired of being called a liar/
where's the girl I used to know? It's gettin' hard to find her/
you're NOT forgiven, but what you expect me to say?/
puttin' that knife to your wrists just to get me to stay/
HOOK
I say I love you, but I hate you/
I can be unhappy all alone, it doesn't take two/
you say you love me, but it's a damn lie/
we should just walk away now and never ask why/
We gotta get away, gotta get away...
VERSE
Here I go again, lookin' through your dressers for notes & love letters/
your ex keeps sending you. I'm more than just jealous/
cuz if I can't have you, nobody else can/
I'm lookin' in the mirror like "you really need help man"/
I know I'm not happy, but I can't let you go/
long as misery loves company we'll never grow/
so we both want out, and it couldn't be any worse/
girl you can't leave me, cuz I'm leaving you first/
what is it about you that brings the worst out of me?/
I'm callin' just to check up on you hourly/
you better pick up, and be ready with details/
you're out with your friends? Well they better be females/
you say it's a guy and no way I'm-a stay cool/
if I can't have girl-friends, you'll play by the same rules/
I just wait for you right outside of your house/
man, I can't believe the words comin' out of my mouth/
HOOK
I say I love you, but I hate you/
I can be unhappy all alone, it doesn't take two/
you say you love me, but it's a damn lie/
we should just walk away now and never ask why/
We gotta get away, gotta get away...
VERSE
Here we go again,...fightin', then breakin' up/
cryin', then makin' love/
fightin' again, breakin' up/
I love you and I hate your guts/
and even all our friends know we're wrong for each other/
so do our sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers
/and anybody we go out with better run/
cuz we're bound to argue and spoil everybody else's fun/
how did we get this way? where did we go wrong?/
it's just too late to start singing that old song/
forgive me baby, take me back/
we're never gonna stray from the way we act/
until one of us leave and say enough is enough/
too much has gone wrong, it wasn't just trust/
it's over now, it's been over for the longest time/
neither one of us are happy here girl, it's all a lie/
We gotta get away, gotta get away...
HOOK
I say I love you, but I hate you/
I can be unhappy all alone, it doesn't take two/
you say you love me, but it's a damn lie/
we should just walk away now and never ask why/
We gotta get away, gotta get away...
