Tell Me Why

Lyrics

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 you love me then you cut me down  
  
[Chorus]  
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  
  
[Chorus]  
  
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  
  
Well I'm sick and tired of your attitude  
I'm feeling like I don't know you  
You tell me that you want 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  
  
I take a step back, let you go  
I told you I'm not bulletproof  
Now you know
