Lyrics
Why I Bother
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.
My opinion only matters
When it suits you best
This advice to you is
Pointless just like all the rest
Why I even bother
I guess that I'll never know
You blame me every time
Like somehow I should know
What's that got to do with me?
You just let it all hang out
Cause you decide
What do you want from me?
Love is a barrier between
And are you sure you're satisfied
You need to find another way
Cause I tried, I tried, you know that I tried
You say you learn from me
But that is just a lie
You say you work real hard
But I've never seen you try
Why I even bother
I guess that I'll never know
You blame me every time
Like somehow I should know
What's that got to do with me?
You just let it all hang out
Just you decide
What do you want from me?
Love is a barrier between
And are you sure you're satisfied
You need to find another way
Cause I tried, I tried, you know that I
(What do you want from me?)
Love's a barrier between
(What do you want from me?)
Are you sure you're satisfied
(What do you want from me?)
You have to find another way
(What do you want from me?)
Cause I tried
What's the barrier between?
Are you sure you're satisfied
You'll have to find another way
Cause I've tried and tried
What do you want from me?
Love is a barrier between
Are you sure you're satisfied
You need to find another way
Cause I tried, I tried, you know that I've tried
