  • Crying for the one who doesn't love you
    All you feel is the pain
    You don't know why he doesn't want you
    He hasn't called for days

    So dry those eyes and don't be afraid
    Cause the rhythm of lovers ain't the same
    No you don't know it don't come easy
    Come easy

    They say it comes in threes; love, hope and misery
    And the first two have gone and tell me if I'm wrong
    I hope that I am and you don't hate me
    Don't be mad, I'm just a man
    And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
    And I know, and I know that you must hate me

    Holding back the reasons not to love you
    Try to find the way
    But when you're feeling down and lonely
    It makes it hard to say

    So dry those eyes and don't be afraid
    Cause the rhythm of lovers ain't the same
    No you don't know it don't come easy
    Come easy

    They say it comes in threes, love, hope and misery
    And the first two have gone and tell me if I'm wrong
    I hope that I am and you don't hate me
    Don't be mad, I'm just a man
    And I know, and I know, and I know that you must hate me

    As I think about the only way that you know to love
    No, this feeling can't be right if it don't mean much
    No, this feeling ain't right if it don't mean much
    I can't be here for you
    No, I can't live a lie, woman, that you must know
    And this feeling can't be right if it moves so slow
    No, this feeling ain't right if it moves so slow
    I can't be here with you

    They say it comes in threes, love, hope and misery
    And the first two have gone and tell me if I'm wrong
    I hope that I am and you don't hate me
    Don't be mad, I'm just a man
    And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know
    And I know, and I know that you must hate me Writer/s: Jake Edwin Kennedy
