I give you everything.
(You let me down, down, down)
I gave you trust and salvation.
(You let me down, down, down)
I gave you everything that I could provide.
(yeah)
I gave you strength to stand and you shoved me
Down, down, yeah.
I know you want me to love you,
but all you ever do is bring me down.
Won't you go away forever?
I felt the world of pain.
(it's coming down, down, down)
Brought to the water, then left me dry.
(down, down down)
Took the drug from the user,
(yeah)
Took all my strength to run and then shove me
Down, down, yeah
I know you want me to love you,
but all you ever do is bring me down.
Won't you go away forever?
It's kind of freaky just to see you crawl,
and all you can do is stare.
I see you tripping' while I kick you do the curb,
like you kicked
ME! ME! Oh, you shove me...
I know you want me to love you,
but all you ever do is bring me down.
Won't you go away forever?
I know you want me to love you
but all you ever do is bring me down.
Won't you go away forever?!
EVER! EVER!
NOW! NOW! NOW!
YOU SHOVE ME, YOU SHOVE ME,
YOU SHOVE ME DOWN, SHOVE ME DOWN!!!!
(You let me down, down, down)
I gave you trust and salvation.
(You let me down, down, down)
I gave you everything that I could provide.
(yeah)
I gave you strength to stand and you shoved me
I know you want me to love you,
but all you ever do is bring me down.
Won't you go away forever?
(it's coming down, down, down)
Brought to the water, then left me dry.
(down, down down)

I think this song was written as a kind of "Fuck you" to somebody who has betrayed the song writer. It seems to me that this person has betrayed the song writer, but wants him/her to more or less forget about it and forgive them, "I know you want me to love you, all you ever do is bring me down". Very good/ heavy song.
Guitarist - I really agree with you! This song is SO nasty when it goes from the "you shoved me...DOOOOOOWN!!!!". That part is SO rocking!
I know you want me to love you But all you ever do is bring me down Won't you go away forever
That part, the chorus, is really interestingly strange. I don't think girls who ever be this mean to someone, this is more a "man" leaving or treating a woman bad instead of the way he puts it in this song. This song reminds me of physical fighting between married couples.
This, in my opinion, is the best song on Something Like Human. It's so trashing in the verse and Brett's vocals are so awesome. Then in the chorus it's melodic. I agree with Guitarist, it's a big FUCK YOU!!!
Awesome song! It sucks that no one really likes this band. This is their biggest selling album and this is the only song with any comments on it!
