How Come You Don't Want Me Lyrics

I can’t say that I’m sorry, getting so ahead of myself.
I can’t say that I’m sorry, for loving you and hating myself.
I have nothing to show you,
I have nothing to hold you down.
It’s killing me to walk away.

How come you don’t want me now?
Why don’t you wanna wait this out?
How come you always lead me on,
Never take my call, hear me out?
Why don’t you wanna win me now?
Why don’t you wanna show me off?
Tell me why you couldn't try, couldn't try and meet me here?

I see you by my house, walking with a different girl,
I see you by my house, talking with a different girl.
She’s got nothing to show you, she’s got nothing to hold you down.
You’re killing me to walk away.

How come you don’t want me now?
Why don’t you wanna wait this out?
How come you always lead me on,
Never take my call, hear me out?
Why don’t you wanna win me now?
Why don’t you wanna show me off?
Tell me why you couldn't try, couldn't try and meet me here?

One day soon
I won’t be the one who waits on you
(I won't be the one)
Some day soon
I won’t be the one who waits on you

How come you don’t want me now?
How come you always lead me on,
Never take my call, hear me out?
Why don’t you wanna win me now?
Tell me why you couldn't try, couldn't try and meet me here?

How come you don’t want me now?
Why don’t you wanna wait this out?
(Try and meet me here)
How come you always lead me on,
Never take my call, hear me out?
(Try and meet me here)
Why don’t you wanna win me now?
Why don’t you wanna show me off?
(Try and meet me)
Tell me why you couldn't try, couldn't try and meet me here?

How come you don’t want me now?
Why don’t you wanna wait this out?
(Try and meet me here)
How come you always lead me on,
Never take my call, hear me out?
(Try and meet me here)
Why don’t you wanna win me now?
Why don’t you wanna show me off?
(Try and meet me)
Tell me why you couldn't try, couldn't try and meet me here?

I don't have the actual physical album yet… waiting on it to arrive. Hence I don't have the actual lyrics either (assuming they're included, that is). I hear some things a bit differently here… the chorus, in particular. at first I thought she was saying "why don't you wanna wake this up" and "couldn't try and meet me here"… so bear in mind, these are merely suggestions :)

One day, soon I won’t be the one who waits on you. So damn soon I won’t be the one who waits on you....I believe the lyrics are talking about March, April, May, or June when the sun is shining and the freedom bell rings....yes, the highs of summer. So why would anyone stick around (and online no less) for the inevitable.The songs about a lousy offer. No thank you.
