[Intro]
(Why did you make me to do it?)
(Why did you force me to take it?)
[Verse 1]
Why did you make me to do it?
Why did you make me to lose it?
Why did you give me the drugs that I took?
Why did you force me to take it?
I thought that what we had was love, was love
I gave you all I had, not much, not much
Things you gave to me were worse, were worse
And I'll apologize no more, no more
[Chorus]
But I'm sorry
That I loved somebody that would hurt me
In the past that's sad but truthfully
I died when you left, when you left me
Oh, sadly
Oh, sadly
I've been crying my еyes out with Xanny
I've been drowning my sorrows in a bottle
I'vе been smoking very much since you left me, oh
[Verse 2]
Why did you make me to lean?
Pop a Molly in a cup and sip
I thought you'd never ever let me be
I thought you'd hold me down 'til I get clean
I thought that what we had was love, was love
I gave you all I had, not much, not much
Things you gave to me were worse, were worse
And I'll apologize no more, no more
[Chorus]
But I'm sorry
That I loved somebody that would hurt me
In the past that's sad but truthfully
I died when you left, when you left me
Oh, sadly
Oh, sadly
I was crying my eyes out with Xanny
I've been drowning my sorrows in a bottle
I've been smoking very much since you left me
[Outro]
Oh, woah-oh, uh-huh (Since you left me)
Since you left me (Since you left)
You left me (You left me, I know)
Since you left me, since you left me
