I just can't find the words to come right out and answer you No matter what I say, we both end up in a battle I don't know how to get you to realize you're talking Everything that's negative And that's not helping us in this matter Why you wanna drag me down Why you wanna fool around Why you wanna slam my name around this town Leave me broken and bitter? Why you wanna call me out Why you wanna create doubt When you know I'm trying to be better? The world is full of hearts just waiting to be broken It's easy to destroy it all when evil words are spoken And just because you know that you have the power Doesn't mean you have to put it out there The world is better off if you just say nothing Why you wanna drag me down Why you wanna fool around Why you wanna slam my name around this town Leave me broken and bitter? Why you wanna call me out Why you wanna create doubt When you know I'm trying to be better? It's up to you to try and see that we are being more than patient But if you don't that's fine we'll just move on to a new location I hope one day you find a way to use your weapon You're smart enough to say exactly what we're thinking Use that tongue for good instead of crushing dreams Help find the best in me and make this world less mean Why you wanna drag me down Why you wanna fool around Why you wanna slam my name around this town Leave me broken and bitter? Why you wanna call me out Why you wanna create doubt When you know I'm trying to be better?
