high & dry

Throwing empty threats
Across at me in passing and I thought
That you had grown on up
But now I see you've been acting

So childish and immature
You hurt me with your words
Called me a friend and played pretend
But you've got it all backwards

And I know
That when all you wanna do is hurt me
And you'll see
There's little reward in stinging me like a bee

I've seen your glare, your nasty looks
Plotting scare after scare
Don't come for me, I'll fight right back
It's no fun if you won't play fair

Oh me, oh my
Not gonna let this one by
Oh me, oh my
Karma's got you high and dry

Maybe you've slipped away
With your nasty words in the past
But oh not I
I've taken my share of shots
And I swear I'll be your last

So unaware and ignorant
I swear you choose to ignore
The subtle hints and warnings
That you feel aren't called for

And I know
That when all you wanna do is hurt me
And you'll see
There's little reward in stinging me like a bee

I've seen your glare, your nasty looks
Plotting scare after scare
Don't come for me, I'll fight right back
It's no fun if you won't play fair

Oh me, oh my
Not gonna let this one by
Oh me, oh my
Karma's got you high and dry

And I thought
We could make it work
And I wanted
To give you a chance
But you just threw it all away
So now, I'm gonna hold my stance

And I know
That when all you wanna do is hurt me
And you'll see
There's little reward in stinging me like a bee

I've seen your glare, your nasty looks
Plotting scare after scare
Don't come for me, I'll fight right back
It's no fun if you won't play fair
