I nearly met my end   But now I’ve trickled back to life   You almost got the best of me, I guess   Kicked me while I was down   You hit me ‘til I caved in   Just to remind me every now and then      That I’m above this, baby   yes it’s true   Oh, I’m above this baby   and so are you   We’re above this, baby   yes it’s true   Tried to guard my innocence   With a certain sense of eloquence   Here we go again      You say everything’s a lie   You’re wrong but you know you’re right   It doesn’t really matter what I say   I’m sorry that it didn’t last   I know it happened all so fast   I swear I never wanted it this way      You’re not my friend   Knowing when   To condescend and seek revenge   You’ll defend   Your better sense until the end   Here we go again   every now and then   You’re innocent,   eloquent and hesitant   I passed your test      You got my best   The time I wasted striking out   In self-defense   And now I’m glad I never met   My bitter end   ‘cause all we built is just a wreck   There’s nothing left to defend
