Why do we torment each other?
Why can't we just let sleeping dogs lay?
Beat each other to the bone,
and make up all in one day,
Yes, I'm getting pretty tired of living life this way
Chorus
Cause it's a love hate kind of thing,
I don't know if you know
that it's driving me insane
I don't know where to go
With this love hate kind of thing,
this love hate kind of thing
Why do you say it's black?
I know it's white
Why can't we just call it quits with out a fight?
I dont think you're very smart,
you don't think i'm very pretty
Guess we never thought at all,
and it seems like such a pity
Chorus
I looked at the sky,
holding my hands over my eyes
till i fell out of bed, hurting my head,
from things that you said
Why do we torment each other?
Why cant we just let sleeping dogs lay?
Beat each other to the bone,
and make up all in one day
Yes, I'm getting pretty tired of living life this way
chorus
