Lyrics
Who asked you?
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There you go again, telling me the same mistakes I made
There you go again, telling me the way I should have played
Your silver tongue can talk away and tell me all I should have done
But you always be the same 'til the very last time has come
Seventeen years and it ain't worth giving a try, you said
But I wouldn't be living if any year was never spent
So when I see you up in arms I wonder where your time has gone
Are you throwing it away 'til the every last time has come
Who asked you to prey on my feelings?
Lying low in every cloud
Who asked you? I've never been the one
To give you any kind of reason
Who asked you?
Who asked you when I was still learning
To come along and put me down?
Who asked you? I made it anyway
While every cloud was slowly turning
Who asked you?
Who asked you?
There you go again, telling me the same mistakes I made
There you go again, telling me the way I should have played
There never was a better way than living like the way I've done
Oh, and living is the game 'til the very last time has come
But you'll always be the same 'til the very last time has come
You're throwing it away 'til the very last time has come
Who asked you?
