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 don'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 will 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 don'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 don't play fair
