And Again

I promised not to have anything to do with you
I promised myself I'd move on to someone new

Again, I'm the one calling to see if you're all right
Again, it's me left crying every night

I want the pain you've provided to be clear
I want you far away, but I also need you near

Even though you're the one who has given me this aching heart
I never tried not to love you from the start

So again I'm on the phone with you hoping you hear the tears
And again I've let you take advantage of my ever present fears

And again I ask myself "Why?"
Why am I so in love with you, when all you do is make me cry?
