You liked me til you heard my shit on the radio Well I hate to say but pop ain't going solo You liked me til you heard my shit on the radio But now I'm just too mainstream for you You liked me til you seen me on your TV Well if you're so low below then why you watching You say good things come to those who wait I've been waiting a long time for it I remember the days When I was so eager to satisfy you And be less than 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 colors 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 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 than 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 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 without looking down Because we're all afraid of heights I remember the days When I was so eager to satisfy you And be less than 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 Myself Why ya hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me so, Leave me down down down down low Leave me down da down down da down da down down down low
