I was thinking 'bout my troubles this morning
Bb          Fm               Bb      Fm  Bb
Trying to decide if I should live or die

I forgot to leave a note on the mailbox so

Said I hope that you forget to come by

It's wrong to leave you by yourself

The love I have does not exceed

The fear I have of you when you need someone to plead

Gm          Ab   Gm
With you to try again
    Fm             Gm              Ab      Gm
And beg you not to cry in vain and be your friend

Why is it me? Why is it me? Why is it me now?

I was never meant to carry the burden
Keeping track of someone else's life as my own
How can I enjoy the time when I'm with you when
I'm afraid to ever leave you alone

I wish you'd stop this game or else
Begin to lean on someone else
I'd like to leave you far behind
Before I'm found in your state of mind
Because I need to lead a life of my own
I wish you'd find somebody else and leave me alone
Why bother me? Why bother me? Why bother me now?
