you worked your fingers to the bone  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)
