Why can`t you be there for me
A friend is no where to be found
I just don`t understand why you
Kick me when I`m down
Enter the room maybe too soon
Nobody seems to be through
They were just talkin` `bout me
Now the silence is killing me
I made a mistake now it`s too late
Everyone just can`t wait
Ya just wanna tell a friend
Start the beginning of my end
You must have never fallen short
Always doing the right thing
`Cause if you ain`t so perfect then
don`t throw another stone at me
[Chorus:]
Why can`t you be there for me
A friend is no where to be found
I just don`t understand why you
Kick me when I`m down
You think it`s over now but
I`m gonna turn it all around
Why can`t you see that you
Kick me when I`m down
Trying to walk but then I get
caught up
Don`t know if I have enough
Just stop looking down on me
You`re seeing right through my need
Thought I could count on you
As someone to be true
Helping me get through
You coulda reached for me
But your back is all I see
You must have never fallen short
Always doing the right thing
`Cause if you ain`t so perfect then
don`t throw another stone at me
[Repeat Chorus]
Kickin` me, Kickin` me
