Verse 1: There's an empty place inside that is hurting me A place that keeps my heart out on it's own A disconnected function of my wretchedness That keeps me so hard pressed Verse 2: It's a place where words are spoken you will never hear A broken bridge of lines that just won't come An empty lung that won't give the wind to speak at me [riff] How far can it be from home Chorus 1: Why you gotta be so mean to me [riff] 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 Verse 3: 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 [riff] That it doesn't hurt somehow to know Chorus 2: Why you gotta be so mean to me [riff] Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need [riff] Why you gotta be so mean to me Yeah heah heah Solo (same chords and riff as chorus) Verse 4: 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 [riff] How far you can be from home Chorus: Why you gotta be so mean to me [riff] Why you gotta drag me down just to make me see You know I don't listen good and I'm always in need [riff] Why you gotta be so fuckin' mean to me [riff] Why you gotta be, why you gotta be [riff] Why you gotta be, why you gotta be [riff] Why you gotta be, why you gotta be [riff] Why you gotta be so mean to me
