Verse 1

 The nicest man

 I ever met

 Was more malicious

 than malcontent

 Yeah, he taught me how

 to hold my tongue

 And wait to strike til

 their backs were turned

Refrain 1

 And you slither away like

 the snake that you are

 Yeah, you slither away

 like the snake that you are

Chorus 1

 And all I ever did

 was look up to you

 And if all I ever

 did was let let you down

 Ain't nothing stopping me now

Interlude

Verse 2

 The vanities fell

correctly beneath

 The receding part

of his twenties

 Was capital M-E

(I couldn't subscribe)

 Was capital M-E (but you

 can't say I didn't try)

Refrain 2

 You say what you want

 (maybe I didn't get my way)

 So you say what you want

 (maybe I didn't get my way)

But I got I got away

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Bridge

 Was it everything you hoped for?

 Was it all of that and

 more? Too much too soon?

 Or too good to be true?

 Was it everything you hoped for?

Was it all of that and more?

(Repeat Chorus 1)

Chorus 2

 And all I ever did

 was look up to you

 And if all I ever

 did was let let you down

 Ain't nothing stopping me now
