Tell Me Why by Taylor Swift (original lyrics)

Taylor Swift

I took a chance, I took a shot
And you may think I'm bullet-proof, but I'm not
You took a swing, I took it hard
And down here from the ground I see who you are

I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feeling like I don't know you
You tell me that you love me and then cut me down
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
That makes me run for cover when you're around
And here's to you and your temper
You'll still remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me why

You can write a book on how to ruin someone's perfect day
Well I get so confused and frustrated forget what I'm tryin' to say, ohh

I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I got no one to believe in
You tell me that you want me then push me around
And I need you like a heartbeat
But you know you got a mean streak
That makes me run for cover when you're around
Here's to you and your temper
You'll still remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me why

Why, do you hafta make me feel small?
So you can feel whole inside
Why, do you hafta put down my dreams?
So you're the only thing on my mind

Well I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I'm feelin like I don't know you
You tell me that you want me then cut me down
I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I got no one to believe in
You ask me for my love then you push me around
Here's to you and your temper
You'll still remember what you said last night
And I know that you see what you're doing to me
Tell me why
Why, tell me why

I take a step back and let you go
I told you I'm not bullet-proof, now you know
