Oh, how could you be so cruel to me? What did I ever do

All I wanted was to love you, but I see that that's not true

Because all you ever do is break me down even when I try to love you

But now I know who you are on the inside, on the inside

Because you just broke me down again and again, again

Because I just wanted to act like you meant, you meant

But now I know that you just push me down, down again and again

Again and again, again, again, again

Baby, what could you do? You just break me down and you make me fall again

I try to get my balance, but you just push me down when I'm on a tightrope

Because I'm hanging on by a thread, I'm hanging on by a thread

And you're just sticking again and again and again

So I can't do it no more, no more

So all I do is go home, cry on my bed and do nothing

Because I'm trapped in my head

I got nowhere to be, nowhere to go

So why could you just be nice for once

Tell me how you feel, tell me how your life's going

Cause you know how mine is

You broke me down, put me in the dirt again

And now I'm crying out loud while I go to bed

Because I can't do it no more, oh

You just broke me down again and again, again

Because I just wanted to act like your man, your man

But now I know that you just push me down, down again and again

Again and again, again, again, again

Baby, what could you do? You just break me down and you make me fall again

I try to get my balance, but you just push me down when I'm on a tightrope

Because I'm hanging on by a thread, I'm hanging on by a thread

And you just take me again, and again, and again

So I can't do it no more, no more

So all I do is go home, cry on my bed and do nothing

Because I'm trapped in my head

How could you be so cruel

All I wanted was to love you

But now I know that that's not the truth

So me and you are over, over
