(verse 1)
let me tell you a little story about this kid I know
way back in the day we used to rock the show
over time became the best of friends
you know, brothers from different mothers
we were next to kin
coulda, woulda, shoulda been a superstar
but he was way to immature to ever get that far
I kinda thought that maybe it would be nice
to lend a brotherly hand and give a word of advice
(pre-chorus)
and now you turn and walk away
as if you're just pretending I've got nothing to say
I know what you want ain't what you need
so I'm just gonna sit back and we'll wait and see
(chorus)
(now it's) all you look at yourself
you can't find anyone else
who feels the way that you do
it's nobody but you now
oh no, look what you've got
you did this, like it or not
I don't feel sorry for you
it's nobody but you now
(verse 2)
now all the friends you've left behind you can never find you
even your mama's out of sight and out of mind, too
because you walked out and went your own route
the ones you care about left out, no doubt
screening phone calls, never coming around
you put me in the back seat with everybody in town
so whatcha doin' man, this just ain't cool man
I try to help but you don't let me, just don't understand
(bridge)
you only think about yourself, friend
I just don't understand
why you do what you're doing and
I hate to think i'd have to let go
and say I told you so
but I guess that's how it's got to go
