Where's the Boy I Used To Know

What is with this grumpiness 
If you don't put an end to this
Your worlds gonna go crashin' down
Stop and take a look around
At the way you have been acting
Your humanity is lacking
Where is the happy go lucky
Boy I met--and not this crappy
Man I see before my eyes
A bully who's full of lies
I've been patient, kind and sweet
In the middle, tryna meet
You half way, it isn't working
Your mind games are just jerking
Me around--it's getting boring
You better listen to my warning
Stop it now or you will be
Knowing just what misery
I can cause-- it won't be nice
Rewind now or pay the price
The damage I can cause is real
Then you'll know how much I feel
Hurt and angered from your change
Please take a moment-- re-arrange
Yourself back into the boy
I fell in love with, full of joy
