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
