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 wanna 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 were it's at
You had 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 your in with
Do you take me for such a fool to think I would make contact?
The one who tries to hide what ya don't know to begin with
You see me on the street you always act suprised
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 paralysed
Why don't you just come out once and scream it?
No I do not feel that good I see the heart-breaks you embrace
If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them
And though you're satisfied with you're position and you're 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
Yeah, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you
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 wanna 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 were it's at
You had 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 your in with
Do you take me for such a fool to think I would make contact?
The one who tries to hide what ya don't know to begin with
You see me on the street you always act suprised
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 paralysed
