Why do I come back?

Why do I keep coming back for more?
When all you do is break my heart,
so tell me why can't I walk out the door?

There are people who hurt the ones they love.
I never thought that you'd be that kind.
I always get burned for I always listen to my heart.
From now on I'll listen to my mind.

Whenever I close my eyes I picture you with that other girl.
Whenever I try to close my heart,
you always find a path between the cracks.

I don't understand why I still yearn for the image of your face.
I don't know why I still keep your picture in a frame.
All I do know is that your memory will never be erased.
And that at night I'll always whisper your name.

Tell me why do I play the fool?
Why must I have to keep you amused?
But I'd rather be your joker than be your nothing.

I wish that I could be the pillow that you rest your face on at night.
If I was then I'd hold your face close to me and touch it softly.

I wish that I was the sweater that you wear when you are cold.
I'll give you warmth and I'll be satisfied for I am so close to 
your  heart.

Tell me why I can't just walk out that door.
Tell me why I keep coming back for more.
