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
