  • I was so high, I did not recognize
    The fire burning in her eyes
    The chaos that controlled my mind
    Whispered goodbye as she got on a plane
    Never to return again
    But always in my heart, oh

    This love has taken its toll on me
    She said goodbye too many times before
    And her heart is breaking in front of me
    And I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore
    Whoa
    Whoa
    Whoa

    I tried my best to feed her appetite
    Keep her coming every night
    So hard to keep her satisfied, oh
    Kept playing love like it was just a game
    Pretending to feel the same
    Then turn around and leave again, but oh

    This love has taken its toll on me
    She said goodbye too many times before
    And her heart is breaking in front of me
    And I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore
    Whoa
    Whoa
    Whoa

    I'll fix these broken things
    Repair your broken wings
    And make sure everything's alright
    (It's alright, it's alright)
    My pressure on your hips
    Sinking my fingertips
    Into every inch of you
    Because I know that's what you want me to do

    This love has taken its toll on me
    She said goodbye too many times before
    Her heart is breaking in front of me
    And I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore
    This love has taken its toll on me
    She said goodbye too many times before
    And my heart is breaking in front of me
    She said goodbye too many times before
    This love has taken its toll on me
    She said goodbye too many times before
    Her heart is breaking in front of me
    And I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore

    "I thought this song was about him not being able to satisfy her sexually"
    "My pressure on her hips"
    "Sinking my fingertips"
    "Into every inch of you"

    Two of those lines from the lyrics are wrong, aren't correct.
    "My pressure on your hips"
    "Sinking my fingertìps"
    "Every inch of you"
    "Cause I know that's what you want me to do"
    The two lines from the lyrics that were wrong are, "My pressure on her hips" , "Into every inch of you". Those are the two lines from the lyrics that are wrong.
