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 think having the 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
