You Only Want in From the Outside

I hope you talk about me with your therapist this week
I hope she helps make up your mind
But then I wonder if you think of me at all
While I think about you all the time

I hope you're waiting for me to finally break down and call
I hope my absence makes you concede
I pick up the receiver, but then I set it down
Knowing longing comes from need

I'm still wanting
You're still haunting me
I'm still wanting
You're still taunting me
I still want you

Some say persistence is the key
But with you it's apathy

I hope you're wondering where I am and who I'm with
I hope you doubt how much I ache
But then I wonder if my name comes up at all
Is your indifference really fake?

I hope you talk about me with your friends and ask advice
I hope you're trying to decide
I know fickle fancies and how they come and go
You only want in from the outside

I'm still wanting
You're still haunting me
I'm still wanting
You're still taunting me
I still want you

Some say persistence is the key
But with you it's apathy

It's too easy to just take a free ride
You only want in from the outside

I still want you
So I must haunt you
And I will taunt you
Cause I still want you
So I will haunt you
And I will taunt you mercilessly
Until you want me
