But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning
And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself
I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you
Than to sit up here exposing myself trying to break through
Well I've been waiting a long time for it
You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio
You say good things come to those who wait
I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you
And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you
Why ya hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me so so
And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself
But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning
You liked me till' you seen me on your TV
Your face, the colors change from green to yellow
Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me
Well if you're so low below then why you watching
You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out
To the point where you can't even say hello
Well I never seen change without a fire
I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you
Like that's what you'd expect from me, like that's what I'm about
And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you
Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me
But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no
Than to burn in the spotlight, turn in the spitfire
Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me
Because we're all afraid of heights
And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you
You say your quest is to bring it higher
It's so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you're cool
Scream without making a sound, be up here and not look down
And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself
