Tell me why (why)
you bother coming back around,
tell me what you really want from me.
Please dont lie (lie)
I know the rules by which you play,
they were burned into my memory. I used to
(Bridge)
[Josh:]
Used to believe everything you said,
thats before I got to know you.
In a little while, saw the other side,
always acting like I owe you.
And when I think what
could have been its such a shame.
But you say youre not the same,
if this aint a game, give me
(Chorus)
Give me a reason to want you back,
I dont want you back,
I do better by myself.
Give me a reason to take a chance
cos I cant find a reason.
[David:]
Tell me why (why)
I should give you another try,
risk it all on something that wont last.
You and I (I), girl were right where we should be.
Baby we should leave it in the past, I used to
(Bridge)
[Jamie:]
Used to believe everything you said
thats until I got to know you.
And when I think what
could have been its such a shame.
But girl nothing stays the same,
you know what Im saying, tell me
(Chorus)
Give me a reason to want you back,
I dont want you back, I do better by myself.
Give me a reason to take a chance
cos I cant find a reason.
[Justin:]
The truth of it is that
Im better off now that youre gone.
My lifes my own,
dont have to worry bout carrying on.
Now youre back but it aint that easy.
Can you give me one good reason?
[Sparx:]
Give me a reason to want you back,
I dont want you back, I do better by myself.
Give me a reason to take a chance
cos I cant find a reason.
you bother coming back around,
tell me what you really want from me.
Please dont lie (lie)
