Tell Me Why
iR Radzi Lyrics

I took a chance, I took a shot
I took a risk, I put myself out there

And you might think I'm bulletproof but I'm not
You may think I'm invincible but I'm not

You took a swing, I took it hard
You hurt me with your actions

I'm sick and tired of your attitude
I am upset and fed up with the way you behave

I'm feeling like I don't know you
I am struggling to understand who you truly are

You tell me that you love me then you cut me down
You say you care for me, but you still hurt me

And I need you like a heartbeat
I depend on you, like a vital organ

But you know you got a mean streak
You know that you have a cruel side

Makes me run for cover when you're around
Your behavior makes me want to avoid you

And here's to you and your temper
Here's to acknowledging your anger issues

Yes, I remember what you said last night
I recall exactly what you said to me yesterday

And I know that you see what you're doing to me
You are aware of the pain and harm you are causing me

Tell me, why?
Please explain the reason behind your hurtful actions

You could write a book on how
You have extensive knowledge on how to ruin someone's day

To ruin someone's perfect day
To destroy someone's happiness

Well, I get so confused and frustrated
I am often unclear and upset with the situation

Forget what I'm trying to say, oh
I lose my train of thought when discussing the topic

I'm sick and tired of your reasons
I am exhausted with your justifications

I got no one to believe in
I feel as though I can't trust anyone

You tell me that you want me, then push me around
You express your desire for me, but still treat me poorly

Why do you have to make me feel small
Why must you make me feel insignificant

So you can feel whole inside?
Is it to fulfill an emotional need within yourself?

Why do you have to put down my dreams
Why must you criticize and devalue my aspirations

Here's to you and your temper
Cheers to bringing attention to your anger issues

You ask me for my love then you push me around
You request my affection, then mistreat me

I take a step back, let you go
I remove myself from the toxic environment and let you go

I told you I'm not bulletproof
I revealed that I am vulnerable and can be affected by your actions

Now you know
It is now clear to you
