Why Bother?

Spent some time alone
And I've given it some thought
I wish you'd call me on the phone
Because I think that we should talk

And I'll say sorry and you'll hang up
'Cause you've heard it all before
And I wish I'd mean it when I say it won't happen anymore

But here we are again
Fighting back the tears
And I'm an awful friend
But you've still kept me all these years
And then we'll both pretend like it's not weird

Oh why, why do you bother to try?
When you know I'm gonna hurt you
When you know that I'll desert you
When you know how bad it's gonna be
Oh why, why do you bother with me?
