Why do I even bother?
Nothing seems to go to plan
I sit at home and wonder
Is it because of who I am?
Your special way of speaking
Could forever lead me on
Holding on to the fiction
Lying on your tongue
The jokes on me
You had me for a while
I'll laugh it off
There's no point in getting riled up inside
Kick me down and bruise my pride
As you never seem to contemplate that we
Could be good for you
And good for me
You seem to think it's fine
Drop me another line
I'm wasting all my time
You never seem to think or know for sure
If you don't want me at all or want me more
You seem to think it's fine
Drop me another line
I'm wasting all my time
Clearing up my schedule
Waiting for the phone to buzz
But you know it never does
You know it never does
Tearing down the house of cards
Just to keep me occupied
It don't give me time to cry
Don't give me time to cry
The jokes on me
You had me for a while
I'll laugh it off
There's no point in getting riled up inside
Kick me down and bruise my pride
The jokes on me
You had me for a while
I'll laugh it off
There's no point in getting riled up inside
Kick me down and bruise my pride
As you never seem to contemplate that we
Could be good for you
And good for me
You seem to think it's fine
Drop me another line
I'm wasting all my time
You never seem to think or know for sure
If you don't want me at all or want me more
You seem to think it's fine
Drop me another line
I'm wasting all my time
