Lyrics

I loved the sound of when you came home

I enjoyed the sound of your return home.

Oh I was always on the side

I consistently supported you from the sidelines.


But when you run me down and you run my mind

When you criticize and occupy my thoughts.

Why'd you treat me like that?

Questioning the mistreatment received.

When you talk to me, it's always on your time

Your communication is self-centered and at your convenience.

And I don't really need that

I don't need that kind of treatment.


I thought that you were family

Believed you were like family.

You're not speakin' to me, ooh

You're not communicating with me.

Make somethin' out of nothin'

Create value from nothing.

Everyone above me, ooh

Feeling overshadowed by others.


I thought that you were family

Believed you were like family.

You're not speakin' to me

You're not communicating with me.

I put it on the line for you

I sacrificed for you.

Made somethin' out of nothin'

Create value from nothing.

Everyone above me

Feeling overshadowed by others.

Put it on the line for you

Sacrificed for you.


When you run me down and you run my mind

When you criticize and occupy my thoughts.

Why'd you treat me like that?

Questioning the mistreatment received.

Just a matter of time before you're up my mind

Anticipating when you will occupy my thoughts.

And I don't really need that

I don't need that kind of treatment.


I used to feel the embers burnin'

Previously felt passion, now indifferent.

Now I'm the queen of apathy

Now embodying apathy.


When you run me down and you run my mind

When you criticize and occupy my thoughts.

Why'd you treat me like that?

Questioning the mistreatment received.

When you talk to me it's always on your time

Your communication is self-centered and at your convenience.

And I don't really need that

I don't need that kind of treatment.


I thought that you were family

Believed you were like family.

You're not speakin' to me

You're not communicating with me.

I put it on the line for you

I sacrificed for you.

Made somethin' out of nothin'

Create value from nothing.

Everyone above me

Feeling overshadowed by others.

Put it on the line for you

Sacrificed for you.


When you run me down and you run my mind

When you criticize and occupy my thoughts.

Why'd you treat me like that?

Questioning the mistreatment received.

Just a matter of time before you're up my mind

Anticipating when you will occupy my thoughts.

And I don't really need that

I don't need that kind of treatment.


Tell me if I'm runnin' away

Seeking clarification if I'm distancing myself.

Tell me if my secrets are safe

Asking if my secrets are secure.

Tell me if you want me to stay

Inquiring if you want me to remain.


I thought that you were family

Believed you were like family.

You're not speakin' to me

You're not communicating with me.

I put it on the line for you

I sacrificed for you.

Made somethin' out of nothin'

Create value from nothing.

Everyone above me

Feeling overshadowed by others.

Put it on the line for you

Sacrificed for you.


When you run me down and you run my mind

When you criticize and occupy my thoughts.

Why'd you treat me like that?

Questioning the mistreatment received.

Just a matter of time before you're up my mind

Anticipating when you will occupy my thoughts.

And I don't really need that

I don't need that kind of treatment.

I don't really need that

I don't really need that.
