[Verse 1]

I stumble barely out of bed before you ask me for something

Tell me I'm nothing, tell me what you need me to say

It never goes my way

So why do I bother repairing the damage?

I'm losing my temper, I barely can manage

[Chorus]

I've been bending over backwards to meet you in the middle

A constant fight 'til you get what you need

I've been bending over backwards, yet I still feel a little

What ever happened to what's best for me?

[Post-Chorus]

What happened, what's going on?

I'm in thе middle, in the middle

[Verse 2]

Wish I could say thе words you always find so easy

I cheer along with the crowd, you treat me like I'm beneath

You're so vain and jealous, tell me you haven't

Just say you can't and ain't got the talent

I know there's a pleasant person that I could meet

[Chorus]

I've been bending over backwards to meet you in the middle

A constant fight 'til you get what you need

I've been bending over backwards, yet I still feel a little

What ever happened?

I've been bending over backwards to meet you in the middle (Tell me what you're really thinking)

A constant fight 'til you get what you need (Tell me what I wanna hear)

I've been bending over backwards, yet I still feel a little (Tell me what you're really thinking)

What ever happened to what's best for me? (What's best for me)

[Outro]

What's going on? What's going on?

What's going on? What's going on?
