"I Love You, But" lyrics

"I Love You, But"

I can build a bridge
Over troubled water
But you'd find a way to burn it down
Give you just an inch
'Cause that's all I can offer
But you'll come back with your hands out
When you're feelin' low
I'm the one you call
'Cause I carry you to higher ground (I'll come get you now)
But when I need a friend
You just somersault
'Cause you're good for givin' me the run around

So what do I do, what do I do
Even if I wanted to
I don't think I can save you
Save you
What do I do, what do I do (What did I do to you)
Even if I was bulletproof
I don't think I can save you
And save me too

Pick the bottles up
Get you outta bed
That was early but you're late to work
Pay for Friday lunch
'Cause you lost your wallet again
It's in the pocket of your shirt
And I'm so tired
Of givin' a fuck
'Cause it looks like you're having fun
As you self-destruct
Gotta let you be
It's too much on me
'Cause
Honestly, have I not done enough

So what do I do, what do I do
Even if I wanted to
I don't think I can save you
Save you
What do I do, what do I do (What did I do to you)
Even if I was bulletproof
I don't think I can save you
And save me too

(I love you but...)

I love you but
I gotta cut ties
These strings aren't doin' anything but hurtin' us
