I was thinking 'bout my troubles this morning   Trying to decide if I should live or die   I forgot to leave a note on the mailbox so   Said I hope that you forget to come by      I'd wasted time to tell myself   It's wrong to leave you by yourself   The love I have does not exceed   The fear I have of you when   You need someone to plead      With you to try again   And beg you not to cry in vain and be your friend   Why is it me? Why is it me? Why is it me now?      I was never meant to carry the burden   Keeping track of someone else's life as my own   How can I enjoy the time when I'm with you when   I'm afraid to ever leave you alone      I wish you'd stop this game or else   Begin to lean on someone else   I'd like to leave you far behind   Before I'm found in your state of mind      Because I need to lead a life of my own   I wish you'd find somebody else and leave me alone   Why bother me? Why bother me? Why bother me now?   Why bother me?      I was thinking 'bout my troubles this morning   Trying to decide if I should live or die   I forgot to leave a note on the mailbox so   Said I hope that you forget to come by      I'd wasted time to tell myself   It's wrong to leave you by yourself   The love I have does not exceed   The fear I have of you when   You need someone to plead      With you to try again   And beg you not to cry in vain and be your friend   Why is it me? Why is it me? Why is it me now?   Why is it me now? Why is it me now?      Why why why why me   Why don't you go away   And leave me, me yeah, yeah   [Incomprehensible]
