Why can't you be there for me

A friend is no where to be found

I just don't understand why you

Kick me when I'm down



Enter the room maybe too soon

Nobody seems to be through

They were just talkin' 'bout me

Now the silence is killing me

I made a mistake now it's too late

Everyone just can't wait

Ya just wanna tell a friend

Start the beginning of my end



You must have never fallen short

Always doing the right thing

'Cause if you ain't so perfect then

don't throw another stone at me



[Chorus:]

Why can't you be there for me

A friend is no where to be found

I just don't understand why you

Kick me when I'm down

You think it's over now but

I'm gonna turn it all around

Why can't you see that you

Kick me when I'm down



Trying to walk but then I get

caught up

Don't know if I have enough

Just stop looking down on me

You're seeing right through my need

Thought I could count on you

As someone to be true

Helping me get through

You coulda reached for me

But your back is all I see



You must have never fallen short

Always doing the right thing

'Cause if you ain't so perfect then

don't throw another stone at me



[Repeat Chorus]



Kickin' me, Kickin' me
