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 you love me then you 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 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
