Do you love me? Or am I just another trip? In this strange relationship You push and pull me 'Till I'm about to lose my mind Is this just a waste of time?
 
Keep acting like you own me I keep running watch me walkin' out that door I hear you behind me
 
Gimme that strange relationship Never felt pleasure and pain like this Something so right but it feels so terribly wrong
 
I keep holding on
 
Gimme that strange relationship One of us gotta let go of this I keep pushing and you keep holding on
 
I'm already gone
 
Do you love me? We break up and back together And I swear to myself never But oh how you do me You strip me of my honor And I don't ever think I'm gonna
 
Break free of these mind games All I'm tryin' to do is modify my plan Cause I can't contain you....
 
Gimme that strange relationship Never felt pleasure and pain like this Something so right but it feels so terribly wrong
 
I keep holding on
 
Gimme that strange relationship One of us gotta let go of this I keep pushing and you keep holding on
 
I'm already gone
 
You keep acting like you own me Like you control me You said you never really wanted me back Well maybe that's a fact May I suggest a brand new plan of attack And in defense of that You're hard to crack You're way off track I want you back I want you gone Maybe I'm sick of holding on
 
Do you love me? Or am I just another trip in this strange relationship?
 
Gimme that strange relationship Never felt pleasure and pain like this Something so right but it feels so terribly wrong
 
I keep holding on
 
Gimme that strange relationship One of us gotta let go of this I keep pushing and you keep holding on
 
I'm already gone
