See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you

Baby I don't know why ya treat me so bad
You said you loved me, no one above me
And I was all you had
And though my heart is beating for ya
I can't stop crying
I don't know how
I allow you to treat me this way and still I stay

See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you

Baby I don't know why ya wanna do me wrong
See when I'm home, I'm all alone
And you are always gone
And boy, you know I really love you
I can't deny
I can't see how you could bring me to so many tears
After all these years

See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
Oohhhhh
I trusted you, I trusted you
So sad, so sad
What love will make you do
All the things that we accept
Be the things that we regret
Too all of my ladies (ladies) feel me
C'mon sing wit me
See, when I get the strength to leave you
Always tell me that you need me
And I'm weak cause I believe you
And I'm mad because I love you
So I stop and think that may be
You can learn to appreciate me
Then it all remains the same that
You ain't never gonna change
(never gonna change, never gonna change)
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you
See my days are cold without you
But I'm hurtin' while I'm with you
And though my heart can't take no more
I keep on running back to you

Baby why you hurt me leave me and desert me
Boy I gave you all my heart
And all you did was tear it up
Looking out my window
Knowing that I should go
Even when I pack my bags
See something always hold me back

    General Comment:This is my song. I am a fool. When it comes to him, nothing is logical or straight, just EMOmotional and twisted. I'm not even sure if it's love that I'm feeling but whatever it is, it hurts like a bitch to be away from him. I don't know what's wrong with me. I thought I was stronger. But no, i'm foolish.

    When I broke up with him, i didn't really want to lose him. I honestly just wanted to see if he cared. But he didn't, cuz he let me with out a fight and told me that losing me was nothing to him because he already got what he wanted.

    Now why the hell would I ever want to get back with someone who doesn't even appreciate me?!

    I've no clue. Nothing. Except of course

    I'm Foolish.

    General Comment:this has to one of my all time favourite songs. its awesome! her mans doing her wrong and cheating her bad and she knows it, and she wants to leave him but she cant. Everytime she tries to leave she ends up running back to him, event hough ehr heart can;t take no more.
    She can't live with him, can't live without him.

    General Comment:this song reflects my true inner feelings for my boyfriend. i am in this exact situation right now. i love him and he tells me he loves me, but he always seems to hurt me. i dont no what to do. should i stay because i love him or should i go because he hurts me? so confusing, this song really helps me think

    P.s.--does Ashanti write her own songs? because most of the songs she sings have really beautiful lyrics.

    General Comment:his song is one of my all time faveourites. It reminds me of the guy I like for over a year. We met through mutual friends, and he was a really nice guy, but an asshole when it came to girls, and I found out the hard way. "My daysare cold without you" describes how it hurts to not be near the person, and " although my heart cant take no more i keep on running bak 2 you" to me, is when although I knew what a prik he was, I kept falling for him even more.

    General Comment:I really related to this song, because I was such a foolish idiot...lol, when I was with my ex. See this is how it always was,
    "See my days are cold without you
    But I'm hurtin while im with you
    And though my heart can't take no more, I can't keep running back to you." To me this totally explains everything, "See, when I get the strength to leave You always tell me that you need me
    And I'm weak cause I believe you
    And I'm mad because I love you
    So I stop and think that maybe
    You can learn to appreciate me
    Then it all remains the same that
    You ain't never gonna change "
    thats really how I felt.
    I'd always keep running back to him, and forgiving him thinking he was going to change, but he never did. and I've finally moved on after 2 years, to find something, a whole lot better then him. Now he regrets what he's lost, and he wants me back so bad, but I aint going back, they're no more chances left. I dont know how many times I've said that I wasn't go back to him, this time, I'm stayin away for good.

    General Comment:That's nice heathyr, don't comment then, just fuck off. I think it's quite a good song to be mellow to and just kick back and relax. I'm a lad and I think we can relate to it as well, because women can be just as bad on this kinda thing as we can. Don't make us out to be the main culprits here.
