[Verse #1:] Boy, you tried to make a mess of me Tear me down and make me believe Thank God, I didn't fall too deep Why'd you try to make a mess of me There was something 'bout the things you said Just to try to get into my head Go lie in that empty bed Boy, you know now just what you did
[Chorus:] So tell me why are you trying so hard Whoa, just to break my heart Kept on pulling me in Thought I would give in So tell me before I leave (Tell me) How do you sleep
[Verse #2:] Wish I could erase you from my mind Take away the pain I feel inside Like a fool, you didn't bring a light Boy, you know I saw right through your lies I'm gonna throw all those things away You gave to me to make me wanna stay I heard you never, never cared anyway Don't think that I'll be coming back someday
[Chorus:] So tell me why are you trying so hard Whoa, just to break my heart Kept on pulling me in Thought I would give in So tell me before I leave (Tell me) How do you sleep
[Ad-Lib:] Ooh, yeah, yeah

[Chorus:] So tell me why are you trying so hard Whoa, just to break my heart Kept on pulling me in Thought I would give in So tell me before I leave (Tell me) How do you sleep
