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 And you slither away like the snake that you are And you slither away like the snake that you are All i ever did was look up to you And if all i ever did was let' let you down And nothing's stopping me now The vanities fell correctly beneath The receeding 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) You say what you want (maybe i didn't get my way) You say what you want (maybe i didn't get my way) But i got' i got away All i ever did was look up to you And if all i ever did was let' let you down And nothing's stopping me now 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 All i ever did was look up to you And if all i ever did was let' let you down And nothing's stopping me now All i ever did was look up to you And if all i ever did was let' let you down And nothing's stopping me now
