Why you gotta be mean to me?
What have I ever done to you?
Why you gotta say things to me
That leave my spirit black and blue?
Black and blue
Black and blue

When you're happy you treat me well
I feel the sun shine through my phone
The pendulum swings back to hell
I think I'd rather be alone
Be alone
Be alone

Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be mean?
Sticks and stones
But the marks you leave are unseen
Why you gotta be
Why you gotta be mean?
I'm taking back my dignity
Taking my heart and leaving

How could I have have allowed someone
To make me feel this way inside
I've handed you the loaded gun
And left myself nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide
