I gotta say I'm getting tired of the way

You come around when it's late

Just 'cause you wanna and you're on my side of town

It's always the same, oh yeah

You go, I stay

Why is it always up to you when I'm collateral damage?

How do you always get your way and I never understand it?

Cut me so deep and didn't even leave a bandage

Why does it always fill you up leaving me emptyhanded?

Emptyhanded

I hate being on your terms

It's always on and off again

Old flame with a slow burn

Swear it'll be different, but

It's always the same, oh, yeah

You go, I stay, I stay

Why is it always up to you when I'm collateral damage?

How do you always get your way and I never understand it?

Cut me so deep and didn't even leave a bandage

Why does it always fill you up leaving me emptyhanded?

I just got three things to say

God bless our troops, God bless America

And, gentlemen, start your engines

Did you make up your mind? You do this all the time

We keep running in circles and inside lines

Why is it always up to you when I'm collateral damage?

How do you always get your way and I never understand it

Cut me so deep and didn't even leave a bandage

Why does it always fill you up leaving me emptyhanded?

Emptyhanded

Oh, yeah
