What can I do to make you finally understand
What do I do to make you see
What do I say to make you really take my hand
How do I make you trust me
I've been trying to tell you all this time
But you just don't keep my thoughts in mind
And I'm getting tired of having to explain
You keep saying I'd be better gone
Tell me I need to learn to move on
And refuse to admit you want me to stay
When I try to tell you I love you
You just keep insisting it's not true
When you should know I wouldn't lie
You keep pushing me to walk away
As if it would kill you if I stay
So don't you dare say you're gonna cry
What can I do to make you finally understand
What do I do to make you see
What do I say to make you really take my hand
How do I make you trust me
Everything you say weighs on my mind
And it's getting harder now to find
Any reason I shouldn't believe
All the things you say that make you wrong
All your little self-pitying songs
All the messages that I receive
And don't say you didn't mean that way
Cause it's too late now for you to say
That you didn't know how much I cared
Quit acting like I'm too good for you
And start proving why it isn't true
Or before you know, I won't be there
What can I do to make you finally understand
What do I do to make you see
What do I say to make you really take my hand
How do I make you trust me
So don't say you tried to be
And don't say it's not on me
And don't say that you were wrong
Cause I know what lying is
And I've had enough of this
And I don't need one more song
Her teacher was right to try to make her stay
And he should've tried harder to get away
And I should've never tried to fight
So if you tell me just one more time
That I'd be better if you weren't mine
Then I might just say that you were right
What can I do to make you finally understand
What do I do to make you see
What do I say to make you really take my hand
How do I make you trust me
What can I do to make you finally understand
What do I do to make you see
What do I say to make you really take my hand
How do I make you trust me
