Getting my back up
Ask me again, and im doing just fine!You always seem to upset me,
Always manage to rile me and mine.
You always land a hit to me, and aim just where it hurts
A thoughtless word, or idiotic gesture
And you're the cruelty against which it is measured.
If everybody wants to rule the world
Then you just want to make us all fools
Playing with feelings, and invoking ideas
Stoking the doubts and fuelling my fears.
Tired and angry aren't a mix for the winning
My hope has failed and my strength is just thinning
And I still cant work out what you want from me.
Let me sleep and give me my peace,
I didnt leave you just to be on lease
My mind will never be yours for the taking
And i'll lie in whatever beds I choose to be making
So back the fuck off, and leave me to mine,
Everytime you ask, i'll be doing just fine.
