I nearly met my end But now I've trickled back to life You almost got the best of me, I guess Kicked me while I was down You hit me til I caved in Just to remind me every now and then That I'm above this, baby Yes it's true Oh, I'm above this baby And so are you We're above this, baby Yes it's true Tried to guard my innocence With a certain sense of eloquence Here we go again You say everything's a lie You're wrong but you know you're right It doesn't really matter what I say I'm sorry that it didn't last I know it happened all so fast I swear I never wanted it this way You're not my friend Knowing when To condescend and seek revenge You'll defend Your better sense until the end Here we go again Every now and then You're innocent, Eloquent and hesitant I passed your test You got my best The time I wasted striking out In self-defense And now I'm glad I never met My bitter end Cause all we built is just a wreck There's nothing left to defend.
