you sacrificed a happy home
  now you have nothing to show
  my energy's wasted on you
  you must be such a proud man
  you must be such a very proud man
  i waited on the doorstep down the hallway
  ears ringing from the words you threw
  you ask me to think about what i've done
  well mister tell me, how about you?
  you must be such a proud man
  you must be such a very proud man
  (repeat)
  i wait like a thief for a real emotion
  as if it's a cure or a magic potion
  i'm lost on ideas to escape the burning
  and i long for the day when the tables turn
  i'm watching you think you've got it made
  you pace like an animal in a cag
  it must have been something i said
  my energy's wasted on you
  you must be such a proud man
  you must be such a very proud man
  (repeat
