Lyrics (continuous text): See, my nights feel cold without you but I’m bleeding when I’m with you and though my heart can’t take this pain I keep on running back again. See, my nights feel cold without you but I’m bleeding when I’m with you and though my heart can’t take this pain I keep on running back again. Baby, I don’t know why you’re playing with my trust, you swore you’d hold me, always console me, I was the one you loved. And though my heart is reaching for you, I’m still here crying, don’t know how I let you break me down this way, yet I keep staying. See, my nights feel cold without you but I’m bleeding when I’m with you and though my heart can’t take this pain I keep on running back again. Baby, I don’t know why you’re tearing me apart, when I’m home, I’m left alone, you’re always gone so far. And boy, you know I really love you, can’t deny, but I don’t see how you could flood me with these tears after all these years. Ooh, I trusted you, I trusted you, so sad, so sad what love will make us do. All the things we let slide turn to regrets inside, so all my ladies sing it loud, come ride with me. See, when I get the guts to leave, you whisper soft that you still need me, and I’m weak ‘cause I believe you, and I’m mad because I love you. So I stop and think that maybe you can learn to appreciate me, but it always feels the same that you ain’t ever gonna change. And this one’s from Ace Plays — smash that like if you vibe with this! See, my nights feel cold without you but I’m bleeding when I’m with you and though my heart can’t take this pain I keep on running back again. Baby, why you cut me, break me, then forsake me? Boy, I gave you all my soul and all you did was tear it up. Staring through my window, knowing that I should go, even when I pack my bags, something always pulls me back. This one’s by Ace Plays — smash that like if you felt this
