there are just too many

　　times that people

　　have have tried to look inside of me

　　wondering what i think of you

　　and i protect you out of courtesy

　　too many times that i've

　　held on when i needed to push away

　　afraid to say what was on my mind

　　afraid to say what i need to say

　　too many

　　things that you've said about me

　　when i'm not around

　　you thinkshavingsthe upper hand

　　means you've got to keep putting me down

　　but i've had too many stand-offs with you

　　it's about as much as i can stand

　　just wait until the upper hand

　　is mine

　　so many people like me

　　put so much trust in all your lies

　　so concerned with what you think

　　to just say what we feel inside

　　so many people like me

　　walk on eggshells all day long

　　all i know is that all i want

　　is to feel like i'm not stepped on

　　there are so many things you say

　　that make me feel like you've crossed the line

　　what goes up will surely fall

　　and i'm counting down the time

　　cause i've had so many stand-offs with you

　　it's about as much as i can stand

　　so i'm waiting until the upper hand

　　is mine

　　one minute you're on top

　　the next you're not

　　watch it drop

　　making your heart stop

　　just before you hit the floor

　　one minute you're on top

　　the next you're not

　　missed your shot

　　making your heart stop

　　you think you won

　　and then it's all gone

　　i know i'll never trust a single thing you say

　　you knew your lies would divide us

　　but you lied anyway

　　and all the lies have got you floating

　　up above us all

　　but what goes up has got to fall
