You see me, but you're really asleep
And I hear you, but you're talking in Lebanese
You hurt me, and I hurt you some more
Like two vampires who've been bleeding all of their lives
A big black hole pulled us inside
We found our own Gilligan's Isle
I crumble when you're near me
You freak out when I'm down
It's not supposed to be this way
You crush me like a spider
I drain you of your soul
It shouldn't have to be this way
You don't need to remind me how to live
'Cause I can’t walk on the road less traveled today
And how can we ever agree
We got two more years with no referees
I crumble when you're near me
You freak out when I'm down
It's not supposed to be this way
You crush me like a spider
I drain you of your soul
It doesn’t have to be this way
And I try so hard, but I'll never be your saint
I'm no debutante, don't know what you want 'til you're screaming
I sleep all day when there's nothing on TV
I don't understand why I give a damn
Still I'm right here where we started
Where we started, where we made it
So why does it have to be such a catastrophe
I crumble when you're near me
You freak out when I'm down
It's not supposed to be this way
You crush me like a spider
I drain you of your soul
It doesn't have to be this way
It shouldn't have to hurt this way
It's not supposed to be this way
It doesn't have to be this way
