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 my w8 while you finished the race
With 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 would you 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 laast one of you schmucks!
I might as well have saved my luck
Not wasted it all on some short sighted, know-it-all
So-called friends, you're not
One thing for sure
If I were tou I never would have let it stop me
I never have before
And if you knew what I went through
Wile 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 dress of white
