Why Do You Try When I'M Done?

Why you try when I'm done?
Why do I feel numb and then you realize how dumb?
Its always when I let you in
You treat me like your rubbish bin

Why you try when I'm done? 
I leave you cold, you bend and fold
Its intermittent and doesn't last
It seems to die way too fast
I hope and pray, I keep the faith 
I get hurt, mocked, used as bait. 

Why you try when I'm done?
Now we're left without the other one.
