How come you only ever want to bring me down Ask someone what did you do And ask one more cause you don't know What did you do You probably couldn't see how it's true I'm sorry they don't have more faith in you So then how come you only ever want to bring me down How come it's every single time you come around When I'm waking up but only cause I have to now So how come you only ever want to bring me down How would I know There's beauty when the blood clots too slow I'm a big fan of the look but it gets a little irritated But I wouldn't fight it I've got the shakes, but it isn't all bad The debt collector just called and said he's my best friend How did I deserve this kind of love So then how come you only ever want to bring me down How come it's every single time you come around How come it feels like every year is a bad one You're born a star and then wound up in the background You're hot enough, you still look good fucked up And just another in the gut might get you closer to good enough How come you only ever want to bring me down I said how come it's every single time you come around When I'm waking up but only cause I have to now So how come you only ever want to bring me down
