I just can't find the words to come right out and answer you|No matter what I say, we both end up in a battle|And I don't know how to get you to realize you're talking|Everything ain't negative|And that's not helping us in this matter||Why you wanna drag me down|Why you wanna fool around|Why you wanna slam my name around this town|Leave me broken and bitter?|Why you wanna call me out|Why you wanna create doubt|When you know I'm trying to be a better person?||The world is full of hearts just waiting to be broken|It's easy to destroy it all when evil words are spoken|And just because you know that you have the power|Doesn't mean you have gotta put it out there|The world is better off if you just say nothing||Why you wanna drag me down|Why you wanna fool around|Why you wanna slam my name around this town|Leave me broken and bitter?|Why you wanna call me out|Why you wanna create doubt|When you know I'm trying to be a better person?||It's up to you to try and see that we are being more than patient|But if you don't that's fine we'll just move on to a new location||I hope one day you find a way to use your weapon|Cause you're smart enough to say exactly what we're thinking|Hey use that tongue for good instead of crushing dreams|Help find the best in me and make this world less mean||Why you wanna drag me down|Why you wanna fool around|Why you wanna slam my name around this town|Leave me broken and bitter?|Why you wanna call me out|Why you wanna create doubt|When you know I'm trying to be a better person?
