you liked me till you heard my shit on the radio
well i hate to say but pop aint 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
well i ve been waiting a long time for it

i remember the days when i was so eager to satisfy you
and be less then 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 d 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 then 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 to sit up here exposing myself trying to break through
than to burn in the spotlight, turn in the spitfire
scream without making a sound, be up here and not look down
because we re all afraid of heights
