Was I even a real man?

No, tell me what it is that I lacked

He's not a blond bitch like me but no one is

So think about that when you're not getting me back

I got art pouring out every pore of me

Not Mozart but I got music in my arteries

And your pale blue eyes made me wish

That you were a fisherman and I was a fish

So it was the two of us against the world

And now we're against each other

And not in the way our bodies could press

Warmly against one another

I made it out, but I was the first, and now I havе to be drunk to call

Those who say pride comеs before the fall, they never knew me at all

Tell me about your childhood

I grew up in a place with meaning

Long summers spent camping with my family

And country music, but the people were God fearing

And there's trauma somewhere inside of me

Not a drama queen unless it's my own arteries

And you will forever remain my empire

And you're the match I use to feel the fire

So it was the two of us against the world

And now we're against each other

And not in the way our bodies could press

Warmly against one another

I made it out, but I was the first, and now I have to be drunk to call

Those who say pride comes before the fall, they never knew me at all

And they didn't like you so they destroyed us

Don't tell me it isn't fair, you'll never know how it was

To go out into the street and see all of the different people

And wonder who amongst them would hate you and think you evil

And I couldn't have your side

So part of me just died

Because watching on the sidelines is not my style

And they altered the chemistry of my brain

Little by little until pictures of you brought pain

So it was the two of us against the world

And now we're against each other

And not in the way our bodies could press

Warmly against one another

I made it out, but I was the first, and now I have to be drunk to call

Those who say pride comes before the fall, they never knew me at all
