Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Drowning like a fly in my drink

You drone about being on the brink

But I really don't care what you think

Oh I'm sick of it all

Sick of it all

I hate the way it's always the same

Hate recrimination and blame

And you just wait for me to fuck up again

Oh I'm sick of it all

Sick of it all

[Chorus]

The ways you try and put me down

Sweet revenge for the things I've done

The ways you try and twist me around

"give me a taste of my own medicine"

[Verse 2]

Drowning like a fly in my drink

You whine about being out of synch

But I really don't care what you think

Oh I'm sick of it all

Sick of it all

I hate the way you want me to be

Hate regret and humility

And you just wait for me to fall at your feet

Oh I'm sick of it all

Sick of it all

[Chorus]

The ways you try and put me down

Sweet revenge for the things I've done

The ways you try and twist me around

"give me a taste of my own medicine"

[Verse 3]

Any love you once felt for me

Has turned into this travesty

Of selfishness and jealousy

So why can't you just let me go?

Any love you once felt for me

Has turned into this travesty

Of selfishness and jealousy

So why can't I just let you go?
