Feel me 
Why are you hiding 
Why are you siding 
What happened to my friend 

I see your 
Back now is turned to 
Me as I ask you 
'cause I don't understand 
I don't understand 
I don't understand 

Hey now 
Never have I wanted to try 
Look into my face and you lie 
Tell me why I'm willing to 
Die for this again 
Hey now 
Thinking that the worst is behind 
Turn around but only to find 
Tell me why I'm ready to 
Die for this again 

Hey now 
I'll bare this for you 
So they adore you 
And get your paper badge 

Hear me 
But you don't listen 
Or you don't want to 
'cause you're just saving yourself 
Just saving yourâ?¦ 

Hey now 
Never have I wanted to try 
Look into my face and you lie 
Tell me why I'm willing to 
Die for this again 
Hey now 
Thinking that the worst is behind 
Turn around but only to find 
Tell me why I'm ready to 
Die for this again 

Why don't you make up your mind 
Why don't you make up your mind 
Who do you want me to be 
Who do you want me to be 
I can't believe what you said 
I can't believe what you said 
Why are you messing with me 
Why are you messing with me 
Why are you messing with me 
Why are you messing with me 
Why are you messing with me 
Why are you messing with me 
Why are you messing with me 
Why are you messing with me 
Why are you messing with me 
Why are you messing with me 
Why are you messing with me 
Why are you messing with me 

I have been let down 
Lies that have affected me 

Hey now 
Never have I wanted to try 
Look into my face and you lie 
Tell me why I'm willing to 
Die for this again 
Hey now 
Thinking that the worst is behind 
Turn around but only to find 
Tell me why I'm ready to 
Die for this again 

Hey now 
Never have I wanted to try 
Look into my face and you lie 
Tell me why I'm willing to 
Die for this again 
Hey now 
Thinking that the worst is behind 
Turn around but only to find 
Tell me why I'm willing to 
Die for this again
