Verse 1:
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
Verse 2:
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
[riff]
How far can it be from home
Chorus 1:
Why you gotta be so mean to me
[riff]
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need
Why you gotta be so mean to me
Verse 3:
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
[riff]
That it doesn't hurt somehow to know
Chorus 2:
Why you gotta be so mean to me
[riff]
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need
[riff]
Why you gotta be so mean to me Yeah heah heah
Solo (same chords and riff as chorus)
Verse 4:
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
[riff]
How far you can be from home
Chorus:
Why you gotta be so mean to me
[riff]
Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see
You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need
[riff]
Why you gotta be so fuckin' mean to me
[riff]
Why you gotta be, why you gotta be
[riff]
Why you gotta be, why you gotta be
[riff]
Why you gotta be, why you gotta be
[riff]
Why you gotta be so mean to me
