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
Chorus
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  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
Chorus
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
Bridge
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
Chorus
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  so  so
leave  me  down  down  down  down  low  leave  me  down  da  down  down  da
down  da  down
down  down  shit  on  the  radio  shit  on  the  radio
shit  on  the  radio  shit  on  the  radio
