Pseudothyrum Song

Why do you treat me this way?
And why do you try so hard to break my spirit?
I think someone was mean to you when you were little
That’s what I think
I think someone was mean to you
Why do you cling to such petty points of contention?
And why don’t you allow me one or two small victories now and then?
I think someone was mean to you when you didn’t deserve it
That’s what I think
I think someone was mean to you
But I
I am not that guy
Can you get that straight?
I am a completely different person
From the one you have in mind
Why do you stand by the things you say long after
You don’t mean to hurt anybody anymore?
I think someone was mean to you for a long, long time
That’s what I think
I think someone was mean to you
