Once upon a time a stutter disgusted me,
Muttered distrust at me, pity you couldn't fly,
I've only ever taken what's mine,
So what if I help you, I'm helping myself, too?
Twice I got the wind knocked out of me, why?
Just to curl up and die? No, I've got too much pride.
So I breathe it in then let it out slow,
When I turn to go, find you trailing behind.
I fought for every last inch that I got
Forgive me for leaving my spot
Not standing in w8 while you finished the race
With those those two broken legs you've got.
One thing's for sure...
If I were you I never would have let it stop me,
I never have before.
And if you knew what I went through while
Trying to get through to you, you'd thank me!
You'd get down on one knee, no matter how
Much it hurt
And you would say "I'm sorry", but I would say it first...
Once, the two of us were eye for an eye,
Now I've given up trying, how could I be so blind?
You'll never let me settle the score
To you I'm the scourge, not the partner in crime.
I fought for every last one of you schmucks!
I might as well have saved my luck Not wasted it all on some shortsighted, know-it-all
So-called-friends, you're not.
One thing's for sure...
If I were you I never would have let it stop me,
I never have before.
And if you knew what I went through while
Trying to get through to you, you'd thank me!
You'd find me in a dream,
On some uncharted map
And I would say I'm sorry, and you would want me back...
Once the world was just a web and a spider,
And so was I,
A liar in a white dress.
