The nicest man I ever met

Was more malicious than malcontent

Yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue

And wait to strike 'til their backs were turned

And you slither away like the snake that you are

Yeah, you slither away like the snake that you are



All I ever did was look up to you

And if all I ever did was let, let you down

Ain't nothing stopping me now

You say what you want (maybe I didn't get my way) 

so you say what you want (maybe I didn't get my way) 

I got, I got away



All I ever did was look up to you 

And if all I ever did was let, let you down 

Ain't nothin stopping me now 



Was it everything you hoped for? 

Was it all of that and more? 

Too much too soon or too good to be true?

Was it everything you hoped for?

Was it all of that and more?



All I ever did was look up to you 

And if all I ever did was let, let you down 

Ain't nothin stopping me now



But all I ever was look up to you

And if all I ever was let, let you down

Ain't nothing stopping me now
