Lyrics: Tonic. Sugar. Mean To Me.

There's an empty place inside that is hurting me
Place that keeps my heart out on its own
Disconnected function of my wretchedness
Keeps me so hard pressed

It's a place where words are spoken you will never hear
Broken bridge of lines that just won't come
An empty lung that won't give the wind to speak at me
How far can it be from home?

Why you gotta be so mean to me?
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?

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
That it doesn't hurt somehow to know

Why you gotta be so mean to me?
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?

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
How far you can be from home

Why you gotta be so mean to me?
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 fucking mean to me?

Why you gotta be, why you gotta be?
Why you gotta be, why you gotta be?
Why you gotta be, why you gotta be?
Why you gotta be so mean to me?
