My Favorite Highway – The Worst Way To Retaliate lyrics

Don't hesitate to break my back,
Oh, you're a heart attack,
You are everything I lack.

If you feel the need to take my pride,
Oh, cut me down to size,
Or cough up the truth and run and hide.

But you refuse to let me stay,
I was not meant to bend this way.
I could tell you I love you, but it won't be the same.
The way that it ended means there's no one to blame.
But you weren't made to make me sing.

Wide-awake you keep me up in bed,
I've got a hundred different things running through my head,
It's hard to fall asleep when all your dreams are dead.

And I know you think about me too,
Or I'm assuming in the back of your mind if you do,
Subconsciously you're hoping I'll come back to you.

You refuse to let me stay,
I was not meant to bend this way.
I could tell you I love you, but it won't be the same.
The way that it ended means there's no one to blame.
You weren't made to make me sing.

I hate to be the one to pick a fight,
But you see I know when I'm wrong,
And I know when I'm right,
It's a challenge to be strong when you're so weary and trite.

Don't hesitate to say you need the space.
Well it seems that you have found somebody else to replace
The melancholy feeling that I have to embrace.

You refuse to let me stay,
I was not meant to bend this way.
I could tell you I love you, but it won't be the same.
The way that it ended means there's no one to blame.
You weren't made to make me sing.
