You liked me till you heard my shit on the radio 

Well I hate to say but pop ain't going solo 

You liked me till you heard my shit on the radio 

But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no 

You liked me till you seen me on your t.v. 

Well if you're so low below then why you watching 

You say good things come to those who wait 

Well I've been waiting a long time for it 



I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you 

And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you 

Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me 

And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself 



You say your quest is to bring it higher 

Well I never seen change without a fire 

But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning 

But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning 

Your face, the colours change from green to yellow 

To the point where you can't even say hello 

You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out 

Like that's what you'd expect from me, like that's what I'm about 



I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you 

And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you 

Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me 

And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself 



It's so much easier to stay down there guaranteeing you're cool 

Than to sit up here exposing myself trying to break through 

Than to burn in the spotlight, turn in the spitfire 

Scream without making a sound, be up here and not look down 

because we're all afraid of heights 



I remember the days when I was so eager to satisfy you 

And be less then I was just to prove I could walk beside you 

Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to stay behind me 

And still you curse the day I decided to stay true to myself
