Why you gotta do this now Put us under so much pressure Why you gotta act brand new Got us on the split like a brochure Why you gotta be so cold Acting so cold to my warm affections Affections, effectively you breaking me down Wearing me out Play with my heart girl This is the sound when doves cry, when doves cry This ain't no fairytale ending Fables they rarely come true Nursery rhymes don't make sense half the time But girl I've fallen and I don't know what to do And I wonder Why you wanna stay away so long Stay away so long You got me screamin out But you offer no assistance yeah I got my reasons now Still tryna trim the distance yeah Silent since we been down Give it all but I get no warm But I get no warm affections, none of your attention This ain't no fairytale ending Fables they rarely come true Nursery rhymes don't make sense half the time But girl I've fallen and I don't know what to do And I wonder Why you wanna stay away so long Stay away so long
