lyrics

Why do you have to be so mean to me?
This really ain’t what it seems to be at first
You couldn’t hide your bad half for long I see
Wake up your kind one, it is gone to sleep

I am here and you are there
You don’t wanna hear excuses
And I’ve always got one spare
You try to make me scared with accusations
But they’re not true I swear

I am here but you wish I was there
I’m happy where I am and this you cannot bear
Now that you know that I never really cared
It’s really you who’s scared

Why do you have to be so mean to me?
This really aint what it seems to be at first
Couldn’t hide your bad half for long I see
Wake up your kind one, it is gone to sleep

I am here and you are there
You don’t wanna hear excuses
But I’ve always got one spare
You try to make me scared with accusations
But they’re not true I swear

I am here and you’re not there
Now you’ve crossed the line
Before you didn’t dare
Walk in spiral stairs that never lead you anywhere
All I ask of you is to be fair

I am here and you are there
You don’t wanna hear excuses
But I’ve always got one spare
You try to make me scared with accusations
But they’re not true I swear

I am here but you wish I was there
I’m happy where I am and this you cannot bear
Now that you know that I never really cared
It’s really you who’s scared

I really need to know why
This is what it tells you to do

Why do you have to be so mean to me?
This really ain’t what it seems to be
