There were just too many
Times people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you
And I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that I've held on
When I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind
Afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that you say about me when I'm not around
You think having the upper hand
Means you gotta keep putting me down
But I've had too many stand-offs with you
It's about as much as I can stand
So I'll wait until the upper hand is mine
One minute your on top
The next your not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute your on top
The next your not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you've won
And then it's all gone
So many people like me that put so much trust in all your lies
So concerned of what you think
To just say what we feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
All I know is that all I want is to feel like I'm not stepped on
There are so many things you say that make me feel
You've cross the line
What goes up will surely fall, and I'm counting down the time
Cause I've had so many stand-offs with you
Its about as much as I can stand
So I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine
One minute your on top
The next your not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute your on top
The next your not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you've won
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
Now it's all gone
I know I'll never trust a single thing you say
You knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway
And all the lies have got you floating up above us all
But what goes up is got to fall
One minute your on top
The next your not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute your on top
The next your not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you've won
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
And then it's all gone
Now it's all gone
