Mixed Signals

Here I go again writing about you 
I could talk about this til my face turns blue
You got me lost sendin’ all these mixed signals
First you want me then you don’t…reading chapters on Kindle
You get drunk and start talkin’ but I don’t get my hopes up
That’s like snow in July…that’s just hopin’ for bad luck
Everything sounds great… like we could work it out
If this and if that’s not what I’m about
I love you like no other… I tell the world…no undercover
You love me like no other but now I really sit and wonder
Say you’re only sexin’ one… that’s me
Don’t wanna cuddle cause I might start to believe
Afraid I might believe in us… I guess they call that faith
You still look at me with love in your eyes… but try to keep a straight face
Sittin’ in your room listenin’ to sad songs 
Then songs of hope but I cry and I’m wrong
You got me confused… I can’t even decode it
Wish I could read your mind like Avant in four minutes
Maybe then I could understand why your confusion has me confused
I just want this to be right again like nothin’ but good news
If you’ll just tell me you’ll keep fightin’
I’ll go to the end of the world for you…no lyin’
So stop sendin’ mixed signals…let’s make peace and win
Let me show you how to love and let’s start all over again
