Why did you bother
You don’t need me
You don’t feed me
And we’re not having fun
Why did you bother to come?
You don’t hate me
You won’t date me
But I’m under your thumb
Why did you bother to come?
Did you think it was a holiday
Where you could play
All your little games on me
Did you think my world is grey
And you can stay
as long as everything
Is free
You ain’t dying
You ain’t trying
And I think that I’ve won
Why did you bother to come?
It’s a crime
To waste my time
So I think that’s it hun
Why did you bother to come?
You’re not caring
You’re not sharing
Buying coffee for one
Why did you bother to come?
