i tried to tell you
this isn't what you want
there's more out there
than the first thing that crawls through your front door

you never listen
what the hell do i know
i can't figure out my own life
so how am i supposed to know what's good for yours

i can't tell you much
but i can tell you you're only doing this for spite
to shut me up
and tell me to keep my nose out of your life

you don't want to hear it from me
you don't want to know the truth
i'm just wasting my breath
talking myself to death
there's no convincing of anything
when it comes to you

you've got a hard head
you always know what's best for you
you're making your own bed
and i'm not going to lie in it for you

we've been friends too long
for me not to say a word
but come three thirty
on saturday morning you're going to wish that you'd heard

everything i said
i only said it because i care
i know we're not together
but that doesn't mean i'm abandoning you out there

if you'd only stop to listen
i'd make my case clear
but you don't want to hear it from me

no, you don't want to hear it from me
you don't want to know the truth
i'm just wasting my breath
talking myself to death
there's no convincing of anything
when it comes to you

you've got a hard head
you always know what's best for you
you're making your own bed
and i'm not going to lie in it for you

i'm not going to lie in it for you
