[Verse 1]

Emotion is my middle name

I lay in bed and listen to the rain

Put happy thoughts in to my head

But I find instead the hurting words you said


[Chorus]

Why won't you believe me

When I tell you the things that I see?

I'll still see you tomorrow, at the show


[Post-Chorus]

It's been a long winded, long time

I wish I'd never met you

I wish I could forget you

And what you said

You're directing your complaints to me

I should walk away, I could easily

Never hear a word you say


[Verse 2]

I'm not your robot or your slave

I won't behave, I'm not your toy

Go on, go bury me with self righteousness

I confess, I'm just a boy


[Chorus]

Why won't you believe me

When I tell you the things that I see?

I'll still see you tomorrow, at the show


[Post-Chorus]

It's been a long winded, long time

I wish I'd never met you

I wish I could forget you

And what you said

You're directing your complaints to me

I should walk away, I could easily

Never hear a word you say


[Chorus]

Why won't you believe me

When I tell you the things that I see?

I'll still see you tomorrow, at the show
