Why Don't You Love Me
Hot Chelle Rae · Whatever [2011]
I'm living a nightmare that keeps playing over again
Locked in a room, so hung up on you
And you're cool with just being friends
Left on the sidelines
Stuck at a red light, waiting for my time
And I can't see
Why don't you love me, touch me
Tell me I'm your everything
The air you breathe
And why don't you love me, baby
Open up your heart tonight
Cause I could be all that you need, oh
Why don't you love me?
Why don't you love me?
See, I'm just too scared to tell you the truth
Cause my heart, it can't take anymore
Broken and bruised, longing for you
And I don't know what I'm waiting for
Left on the sidelines
Stuck at a red light, waiting for my time
So just tell me
Why don't you love me, touch me
Tell me I'm your everything
The air you breathe
And why don't you love me, baby
Open up your heart tonight
Cause I could be all that you need, oh
Why don't you give me a reason (give me a reason)
Please tell me the truth (please tell me the truth)
You know that I'll keep believing (I'll keep believing)
Still I'm with you
Why don't you love me, kiss me
I can feel your heart tonight
It's killing me
So why don't you love me, touch me
Tell me I'm your everything
The air you breathe
And why don't you love me, baby
Open up your heart tonight
Cause I could be all that you need, oh
Why don't you love me [x5]
