I Wanna Love You But I Don't lyrics

I think it sucks that you're perfect

'cause you're not perfect for me,

and though you kill me with kindness,

it ain't the kind that I need.

I know we look good on paper

until you give us a read

'cause when we pull back the curtains

there ain't a whole lot to see.

I wanna love you but I don't.

I wanna need you but I won't.

I begged my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you.

I say I'm dreaming 'bout your face, but it isn't you.

And I'm not trying to change you

but it's just not in the stars.

I know there's somebody out there

to love you just as you are.

When you finally find that someone who fits you right

you'rе gonna see I couldn't be him.

No matter how hard I try,

I know I wanna love you but I,

I wanna lovе you but I

I wanna love you but I don't.

I wanna need you but I won't.

I begged my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you.

I say I'm dreaming 'bout your face, but it isn't you.

I wanna love you but I don't.

You gotta let me let you go

'cause I can't look you in the eye for another day.

Won't stay forever, so goodbye is the only way.

I wanna love you but I don't!

(I wanna love you...)

(I wanna, I wanna, I wanna love you...)

I wanna love you but I don't!

(I wanna, I wanna, I wanna love you...)

(I wanna, I wanna, I wanna love you...)

(I wanna, I wanna...)

I wanna love you but I don't.

I wanna need you but I won't.

I begged my heart to start to race when I'm kissing you.

I say I'm dreaming 'bout your face, but it isn't you.

I wanna love you but I don't.

You gotta let me let you go

'cause I can't look you in the eye for another day.

Won't stay forever, so goodbye is the only way.

I wanna love you but I don't.

(I wanna love you...)

(I wanna, I wanna, I wanna love you...)

I wanna love you but I don't!

(I wanna, I wanna, I wanna love you...)

(I wanna, I wanna, I wanna love you...)

(I wanna, I wanna...)
