Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't speak and I can't listen
And everyone is a curse or somethin' worse
What can I say to the kid that made you complain and lie?
You were made to, when you hate every god I pray to
[Verse 2]
So don't lie to me, I know I'm not as cool as I'd like to be
But why do you feel so down again?
I know I'm not a very good friend
Why do you feel so down?
Sure, that's not somethin' I'd stick around for
Why do you feel so down?
Oh, God, I know you think I'm safe and sound, I'm not
Why do you feel so down?
[Verse 3]
I've gone weak and I'm sick of speakin'
So hear me out, you're the cure or somethin' more
I think you're one of a kind so I'll never like myself
I think you're older and wiser so I won't let you tell
I think it over and over and hope you're thinkin' too
I think it over and over and hope I'm over you
[Verse 4]
So don't lie to me, I know I'm not as cool as I try to be
But why do you feel so down again?
I know I'm not a very good friend
Why do you feel so down?
Sure, that's not somethin' I'd stick around for
Why do you feel so down?
Oh, God, I know you think I'm safe and sound, I'm not
Why do you feel so down?
[Verse 5]
Everyone, I messed up again
Everyone, I messed up again, oh
Everyone, I messed up again
Everyone
[Verse 6]
So don't lie to me, I know I'm not as cool as I try to be
But why do you feel so down again?
I know I'm not a very good friend
Why do you feel so down?
Sure, that's not somethin' I'd stick around for
Why do you feel so down?
Oh, God, I know you think I'm safe and sound, I'm not
Why do you feel so down?
(Why do you feel so down?)
