[Verse 1:]
I Thought
You Were
Always
Gonna Be Here By My Side
It's Taken Such A Long Time
For Me To Find
What I Want To Do
Too Much I Never Knew
You Could Do What You Do
I'm Asking You One More Time
Is It Always Gonna Be This Way?
[Chorus:]
To All Of Ya'll
Who Said I Couldn't Be
And Tried To Hate On Me
And Take On Me
You Waiting On The Day
I'm Falling Down
So You Feel Proud
Why? Why?
Why? Why?
You Gotta Understand
What You Mean To Me
Why Can't You See
I'm Unhappy
To All Of Ya'll
Who Said I Wouldn't Be
Now Look At Me
Bye-Bye
Bye-Bye
[Verse:2]
You Should
Find Out
What It Is
That You Want To Be
Using Your Misfortunes
As A Weapon
To Try And Hurt On Me
Why Do
Want To Do
What Could Comeback On You
So, I'm Asking You One More Time
Is It Really Meant To Be This Way?
[Chorus:]
To All Of Ya'll
Who Said I Couldn't Be
And Tried To Hate On Me
And Take On Me
You Waiting On The Day
I'm Falling Down
So You Feel Proud
Why? Why?
Why? Why?
You Gotta Understand
What You Mean To Me
Why Can't You See
I'm Unhappy
To All Of Ya'll
Who Said I Wouldn't Be
Now Look At Me
Bye-Bye
Bye-Bye
[Bridge:]
The Way You Stare
When You're There
What Makes You
Talk About
Walk Around
Speaking Bout' Me
You Are
(Hmmm..)
I Think Things Are Bound To Change
Cause' I Will Never
[Chorus: x2]
To All Of Ya'll
Who Said I Couldn't Be
And Tried To Hate On Me
And Take On Me
You Waiting On The Day
I'm Falling Down
So You Feel Proud
Why? Why?
Why? Why?
You Gotta Understand
What You Mean To Me
Why Can't You See
I'm Unhappy
To All Of Ya'll
Who Said I Wouldn't Be
Now Look At Me
