Lyrics:

“You Caught Me At A Bad Time”

I don’t need this conversation
‘Cause I don’t need to see you cry
You need one more confirmation
Like I need one more reason whyI know this might not be the answer
Oh, that you came here to get
We both know that girl is somethin’
That I’m still not over yet

I cant go on using you
Girl, it feels like I’m losin’ you
A love like yours is hard to find
But you caught me at a bad time

I knew that you’d be waiting
The night I made that desperate call
You weren’t everything I needed
Just the softest place to fall

So I’m not gonna lie to you
Just keep stringing you along
Thought by now that I’d be better
But I guess I’m not that strong

And I can’t go on using you
Oh, it feels like I’m losin’ you
A love like yours is hard to find
You’ve caught me at a bad time

A love like yours is hard to find
You’ve caught me at a bad time
