Tell Me Why

I took a chance
I took a shot
And you might think I’m bulletproof
But I’m not

You took a swing
I took it hard
And down here from the ground I see
Who you are

I’m sick and tired of your attitude
I’m feeling like I don’t know you
You tell me that that you love me
Then cut me down

And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you’re around

And here’s to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see
What you’re doing to me
Tell me why

You could write a book on
How to ruin someone’s perfect day
Well I get so confused and frustrated
Forget what I’m trying to say
Oh

I’m sick and tired of your reasons
I got no one to believe in
You tell me that you want me
Then push me around

And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
Makes me run for cover when you’re around

Here’s to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see
What you’re doing to me
Tell me why

Why
Do you have to make me feel small
So you can feel whole inside?

Why
Do you have to put down my dreams
So you’re the only thing on my mind?

I’m sick and tired of your attitude
I’m feeling like I don’t know you
You tell me that you love me
Then cut me down

I’m sick and tired of your reasons
I’ve got no one to believe in
You ask me for my love
Then you push me around

Here’s to you and your temper
Yes, I remember what you said last night
And I know that you see
What you’re doing to me
Tell me why

Why
Tell me why
Oh

I take a step back
Let you go
I told you I wasn’t bulletproof
Now you know
