It's 3 am and i finally say
I'm sorry for acting that way
I didn't really mean to make you cry
Oh baby, sometimes i wonder why

[chorus]
Does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before i'll say 'i love you'
Why do i always use the words
That cut the deepest
When i know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do i do that to you

I know i'd never let you walk away
So why do i push you 'til you break
And why are you always on the verge of good-bye
Before i'll show you how i really feel inside

[chorus]
Does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before i'll say 'i love you'
Why do i always use the words
That cut the deepest
When i know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do i do that to you

Why do i always use the words that cut the deepest
When i know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do i do that to you
Why do i do that to you
