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've lost your faith,
But that's not where it's at.
You have 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 paralyzed
Why don't you just come out once and scream it!
Now don't I feel that good
When I see the heartaches you embrace
If I were a master thief perhaps I'd rob them.
And though 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.
