It's just like you to contest 
you wear it like a label on your breast 
don't you see what this takes of me? 
certain [bad word] 
in your charm and in your pride 
a hopeful look draped in despise 

I want to give you whatever you need 
What is it you need? Is it what I need? 
I want to give you whatever you need 
What is it you need? Is it within me? 

It's hard to explain how I am 
getting by on so little from you
It's hard to believe that I would 
let myself get so wrapped into you 
There's got to be something 
that would be worthwhile for me to give to you 
We need a connection but you 
seem to push me far away from you

The harder I push the further I fall 
Well you don't mind me being headstrong 
But you don't want to sing along
Maybe it's trite but I can always,
always,always,always,always be wrong
