Why do you do things you say you'd never do Are you trying to get rid of me? All the words that leave your lips and disappear Is there something that only you can see (Why do you?) When I try to ask you always seem to put me down All the things you promised and you make me play the clown What happened to the best friend you know I once knew Did they die or just simply move away? All the people who get around and follow you You know they're wrong but you love them anyway (Why do you?) When I try to ask you always seem to put me down All the things you promised and you make me play the clown When I try to ask you always seem to put me down All the things you promised and you make me play the clown
