high & dry lyrics

[Verse 1]

Throwing empty threats

Across at me in passing and I thought

That you had grown on up

But now I see you've been acting

So childish and immature

You hurt me with your words

Called me a friend and played pretend

But you've got it all backwards

[Chorus]

And I know

That when all you wanna do is hurt me

And you'll see

There’s little reward in stinging me like a bee

I've seen your glare, your nasty looks

Plotting scare after scare

Don't come for me, I’ll fight right back

It’s not fun if you won’t play fair

[Post-Chorus]

Oh me, oh my

Not gonna let this one by

Oh me, oh my

Karma'’s got you high and dry

[Verse 2]

Maybe you slipped away

With your nasty words in the past

But oh not I

I've taken my share of shots

And I swear I'll be your last

So unaware and ignorant

I swear you choose to ignore

The subtle hints and warnings

That you feel aren't called for

[Chorus]

And I know

That when all you wanna do is hurt me

And you'll see

There’s little reward in stinging me like a bee

I've seen your glare, your nasty looks

Plotting scare after scare

Don't come for me, I’ll fight right back

It’s not fun if you won’t play fair

[Post-Chorus]

Oh me, oh my

Not gonna let this one by

Oh me, oh my

Karma'’s got you high and dry

[Verse 3]

And I thought

We could make it work

And I wanted

To give you a chance

But you just threw it all away

So now, I'm gonna hold my stance

[Chorus]

And I know

That when all you wanna do is hurt me

And you'll see

There’s little reward in stinging me like a bee

I've seen your glare, your nasty looks

Plotting scare after scare

Don't come for me, I’ll fight right back

It’s not fun if you won’t play fair
