There's an empty place inside that is

hurting me

A place that keeps my heart out on

It's own

A disconnected function of my

wretchedness

That keeps me so hard pressed

It's a place where words are spoken

you will never hear

A broken bridge of lines that just

won't come

An empty lung that won't give the

wind to speak at me

How far can I be from home

Why you gotta be so mean to me

Why you gotta drag me down just to

make me see

You know I don't listen good and I'm

always in need

So why you gotta be so mean to me

Do you think that it got up and left

for good this time

A crowd of faceless strangers

moving on

A feeling that you left it all behind

you now

That it doesn't hurt somehow to know

Why you gotta be so mean to me

Why you gotta drag me down just to

make me see

You know I don't listen good and I'm

always in need

So why you gotta be so mean to me

So open up the book that you keep

deep inside

Let the pages yellow in the sun

Show them that you're not afraid to

let them see

How far you can be

From home

Why you gotta be so mean to me

Why you gotta drag me down just to

make me see

You know I don't listen good and I'm

always in need

So why you gotta be so fucking

Mean to me

Why you gotta be

Why you gotta be

Why you gotta be

Why you gotta be

Why you gotta be

Why you gotta be

Why you gotta be so mean to me
