How can I enjoy myself with you always on my ass?
Memories of our greatest times lay shattered like a glass.
You're trying to entrap me with the way you speak to me.
You're trying to get an answer that I won't give easily.

[Chorus:]
Don't you know that I love you? But I want to run away,
from the traps and ultimatums, that you're giving me each day.
On eggshells all around you, it's making me want to run further away.

I know that if I go you'll bitch or tell me that you will leave.
You're so sad and mad, it breaks my heart and we're not happy.
I go out for a moment's peace, from the things we said today,
but when I get home your questioning just drives me further away.

[Chorus]

You are my love and I love you, but we can't do everything
together everyday, because it drives us nuts and you never liked shopping.
Wrong or right, someone has to lose, when anger is used in place of anxiety.
Why couldn't you find something nice to occupy you, ‘cause you already lost me.

[Chorus]

Socialization, self preservation, write it down, go out on the town,
read or write, a café night, or going out with the boys to drink tonight.
I want to be with you, oh, but what you put me through.
