[00:12.220]You  liked  me 'till  you  heard  my  shit  on  the  radio
[00:15.186]Well  I  hate  to  say  but  pop  ain't  going  solo
[00:18.456]You  liked  me 'till  you  heard  my  shit  on  the  radio
[00:21.294]But  now  I'm  just  too  mainstream  for  you  oh  no
[00:24.590]You  liked  me 'till  you  seen  me  on  your  t  v
[00:27.570]Well  if  you're  so  low  below  then  why  you  watching
[00:30.468]You  say  good  things  come  to  those  who  wait
[00:33.845]Well  I've  been  waiting  a  long  time  for  it
[00:36.111]Chorus
[00:36.140]I  remember  the  days  when  I  was  so  eager  to  satisfy  you
[00:42.491]And  be  less  than  I  was  just  to  prove  I  could  walk  beside  you
[00:48.598]Now  that  I've  flown  away  I  see  you've  chosen  to  stay  behind  me
[00:55.48]And  still  you  curse  the  day  I  decided  to  stay  true  to  myself
[01:01.778]You  say  your  quest  is  to  bring  it  higher
[01:04.653]Well  I  never  seen  change  without  a  fire
[01:07.274]But  from  your  mouth  I  have  seen  a  lot  of  burning
[01:11.32]But  underneath  I  think  it's  a  lot  of  yearning
[01:13.778]Your  face  the  colours  change  from  green  to  yellow
[01:16.998]To  the  point  where  you  can't  even  say  hello
[01:20.247]You  tell  me  you'd  kill  me  if  I  ever  snob  you  out
[01:22.793]Like  that's  what  you'd  expect  from  me  like  that's  what  I'm  about
[01:25.688]Chorus
[01:25.853]I  remember  the  days  when  I  was  so  eager  to  satisfy  you
[01:31.925]And  be  less  than  I  was  just  to  prove  I  could  walk  beside  you
[01:38.255]Now  that  I've  flown  away  I  see  you've  chosen  to  stay  behind  me
[01:44.206]And  still  you  curse  the  day  I  decided  to  stay  true  to  myself
[01:51.136]Bridge
[01:56.656]It's  so  much  easier  to  stay  down  there  guaranteeing  you're  cool
[02:03.243]Than  to  sit  up  here  exposing  myself  trying  to  break  through
[02:09.534]Than  to  burn  in  the  spotlight  turn  in  the  spitfire
[02:16.138]Scream  without  making  a  sound  be  up  here  and  not  look  down
[02:23.276]because  we're  all  afraid  of  heights
[02:24.269]Chorus
[02:27.358]I  remember  the  days  when  I  was  so  eager  to  satisfy  you
[02:33.738]And  be  less  than  I  was  just  to  prove  I  could  walk  beside  you
[02:40.116]Now  that  I've  flown  away  I  see  you've  chosen  to  stay  behind  me
[02:46.78]And  still  you  curse  the  day  I  decided  to  stay  true  to  myself
[02:55.577]myself
[03:17.497]Why  ya  hurt  me  hurt  me  hurt  me  hurt  me  hurt  me  hurt  me  so  so
[03:24.207]leave  me  down  down  down  down  low  leave  me  down  da  down  down  da
[03:28.877]down  da  down
[03:33.292]down  down  shit  on  the  radio  shit  on  the  radio
[03:37.191]shit  on  the  radio  shit  on  the  radio
