Lyrics:

You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio

Well I hate to say but pop ain't going solo

You liked me till' you heard my shit on the radio

But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no

You liked me till' you seen me on your t.v.

Well if you're so low below then why you watching?

You say good things come to those who wait

I've been waiting a long time for it



I remember the days

when I was so eager to satisfy you

and be less than I was

just to prove I could walk beside you

Now that I've flown away

I see you've chosen to stay behind me

and still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself



You say your quest is to bring it higher

Well I never seen change without a fire

But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning

But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning

Your face, the colours change from green to yellow

To the point where you can't even say hello

You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out

Like that's what you expect from me, like that's what I'm about



I remember the days

when I was so eager to satisfy you

and be less than I was

just to prove I could walk beside you

Now that I've flown away

I see you've chosen to stay behind me

and still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself



It's so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you're cool

Than sit up here exposing myself trying to break through

Than to burn in the spotlight (open fire!), turn in the spitfire (open fire!)

Scream without making a sound (open fire!), be up here without looking down

(open fire!)

because we're all afraid of heights



I remember the days

when I was so eager to satisfy you

and be less than I was

just to prove I could walk beside you

Now that I've flown away

I see you've chosen to stay behind me

and still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself



Myself...



Why ya hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me so,

leave me down down down down low

leave me down da down down da down da down down down low...
