You've got a lot of nerve
To say you are my friend.
When I was down
You just stood there grinning...
You've got a lot of nerve
To say you've got a helping hand to lend-
You just want to be on
The side that’s winning.
You say I let you down;
You know it’s not like that.
If you’re so hurt
Why then don’t you show it?
You say you lost your faith,
But that’s not where it’s at.
You had no faith to lose-
And you know it
I know the reason
That you talk behind my back.
I used to be among the crowd
You’re in with
Do you take me for such a fool?
To think I’d make contact,
With the one who tries to hide
What he don’t know to begin with.
You see me on the street,
You always act surprised
You say, “How are you?” “Good luck”
But you don’t mean it.
When you know as well as me,
You’d rather see me paralysed
Why don’t you just come out once
And scream it?
No, I do not feel that good
When I see the heartbreaks you embrace.
If I was a master thief
Perhaps I’d rob them
And now I know you’re dissatisfied
With your position and your place
Don’t you understand?
It’s not my problem
I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment,
I could be you.
Yes, I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes.
You’d know what a drag it is
To see you.
