Could you be holding out for something more
maybe I'm not what you're looking for
but I'll be waiting if you change your mind
everybody tells me it's just a waste of time
and if I give up hope
well then I might as well lay down and die
and that's why I'm asking

- Chorus -
why (do) you always push me away
cuz I try to do the best I can for you
so I'm asking
why (do) you always push me away
cuz I try to do the best I can for you
seems like I've known you forever
but still you don't know I'm alive
why can't we just be together
cuz it seems the world is made for you and I
and if I give up hope
well then I might as well lay down and die
and that's why I'm asking

- Chorus -
why (do) you always push me away
cuz I try to do the best I can for you
so I'm asking
why (do) you always push me away
cuz I try to do the best I can for you
I just called cuz I was thinking about you (x2)
you got to let me know if I'm getting through
and you know that I'm only just a step away from crazy
this is what you do to me
