Around You

[Verse 1 - Maxee]

Boy I thought that I was trippin' when I asked you to stay

But now I know I was just crazy to let you treat me that way

I put you first in my life, you brought the worst to my life

And I'm tired of playing games with you just like a child

You had every opportunity to give me your smile

I can't do this no more

And how you broke me before

I just can't be around you and let you hurt me anymore

[Chorus]

Every time I'm around you I let down my guard

So when I come around you I cover my heart

If I let you in again you'd only tear me apart

I don't want to do it again, I don't want to love you again

Can't be around you (Around you, around you)

[Verse 2 - Nicci & Maxee]

How can I consider taking you back again?

I trusted you and I'm bitter, I loved you more than I can

I put you first in my life, you brought the worst to my life

And I'm tired of laying alone wondering will he call home or come

And you'd apologize and make it seem alright

When you're not sorry at all

I can't see you no more, already tried that before

I just can't be around you, boy I'm closing the door

[Chorus]

Every time I'm around you I let down my guard

So when I come around you I cover my heart

If I let you in again you'd only tear me apart

I don't want to do it again, I don't want to love you again

Can't be around you (Around you, around you)

[Bridge - Nicci]

Anything you needed I was there for you

There was nothing I would not do

How could you leave me standing all alone?

Knowing I could not do this on my own

I can't do this no more, how you broke me before

I just can't be around you and let you hurt me anymore

Every time

[Chorus]

Every time I'm around you, I let down my guard

So when I come around you, I cover my heart

If I let you in again you'd only tear my heart apart

I don't want to do it again, I don't want to love you again

Oh no can't be around you, around you, around you
