Why can't you be there for me?
A friend is nowhere to be found
..... kick me when I'm down
Enter the room, maybe too soon
Nobody seems to be through
They were just talking 'bout me
Now the silence is killing me
Made a mistake now it's too late
Everyone just can't wait
You 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
Why can't you be there for me?
A friend is nowhere 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
(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
(Just throw another stone, yeah)
Why can't you be there for me?
A friend is nowhere 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, that you
Kick me when I'm down
(Why you kick)
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
Why do you kick me when I'm down?
I just don't understand why you
Kick me when I'm down
Why do you kick me when I'm down?
Why can't you see
(why can't you see)
That you kick me when I'm down
Why can't you be there for me?
A friend is nowhere to be found
(nowhere) (nowhere to be found)
(Why do you kick me)
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
(oh yeah)
That you kick me when I'm down
Kickin me, kickin me
Kickin me, kickin me
Kickin me, kickin me
(I'm gonna turn it all around)
Kick me when I'm down
Kickin me, kickin me
Kickin me, kickin me
(down)
Kickin me, kickin me
Gonna turn it all around, yeah
