| [Verse #1:] | |
| Boy, you tried to make a mess of me | |
| Tear me down and make me believe | |
| Thank God, I didn't fall too deep | |
| Why'd you try to make a mess of me | |
| There was something 'bout the things you said | |
| Just to try to get into my head | |
| Go lie in that empty bed | |
| Boy, you know now just what you did | |
| [Chorus:] | |
| So tell me why are you trying so hard | |
| Whoa, just to break my heart | |
| Kept on pulling me in | |
| Thought I would give in | |
| So tell me before I leave (Tell me) | |
| How do you sleep | |
| [Verse #2:] | |
| Wish I could erase you from my mind | |
| Take away the pain I feel inside | |
| Like a fool, you didn't bring a light | |
| Boy, you know I saw right through your lies | |
| I'm gonna throw all those things away | |
| You gave to me to make me wanna stay | |
| I heard you never, never cared anyway | |
| Don't think that I'll be coming back someday | |
| [Chorus:] | |
| So tell me why are you trying so hard | |
| Whoa, just to break my heart | |
| Kept on pulling me in | |
| Thought I would give in | |
| So tell me before I leave (Tell me) | |
| How do you sleep | |
| [Ad-Lib:] | |
| Ooh, yeah, yeah | |

| [Chorus:] | |
| So tell me why are you trying so hard | |

| Kept on pulling me in | |

| So tell me before I leave (Tell me) | |
| How do you sleep | |
