Tired of you thinkin youre right telling me I'm always 
wrong.

the sooner i see you walkin out that door 
the better i'll be

So, stop bringin' me down 
you can't find somethin nice to say 
don't say it at all 
let me make my own mistakes 
I'll beat your love 
the hard way, oh the hard way

i know it sounds funny but i know you just can't help 
yourself 
cause in your mind you just can't stand by and let me

you don't know where i've been or what i'm all about 
or what i'm feelin
