lyrics

There's a man in the other room
I thought that I knew
I've tried all that a woman can try
At least I'm pretty sure that's true

There's a ghost livin' in this house
It's right behind that door
Our baby can't even bring him back
God, I don't know what I try for

Oh I'm tired of bein' in love
It hurts too much
When the one you love ain't in love with you

I know I can be simple
Simple used to get it done (oh it used to be enough for you)
I lay alone in bed inside his head
After dinner served for one (so alone)

Oh God, it's got to be hard
To hold the last breath of a friend
But he's been home two years in March
And my heart is growin' thin

Oh I'm tired of bein' in love
It hurts too much
When the one you love ain't in love with you

Come back to the baby (come on back)
And come back to me (come back and make it make three)

I can't, I can't, I can't, I can't
Make the war fade away
But I can't, I can't, I can't ,I can't
Keep from thinkin' “run away”

Oh I'm tired of bein' in love
It hurts too much
When the one you love ain't in love with you

still in love
still in love
still in love with you
