Don't tell me they all hate me now too
Don't tell me it all comes back to you

The only thing i can think to do
Is to sap some strength
From somebody new

I miss not knowing you so well

You make yourself useful to each one who cries
And then left without you they'll be paralyzed

My self-respect means more to me than you do
Or at least it used to

I wonder what it was i thought that i knew
Did i realize i would never be enough for you?

You ask again what is it that i'm waiting for
That is a stupid question
That is to be sure

You sit there calmly with your eloquence
And i thought the best offence was a good defence
But i keep losing every round
I remember when it all started going down

I remember the beer caught in my throat
And the lonely comfort of my only winter coat
I could tell you exactly when i fell
It was back when i did not know you so well
