How did you get this way

How'd you become such a cynic?

Bitter and jealous of everyone else

But to proud to admit it

When the other shoe finally drops

I'm sure you'll be the one standing on top


Of a list that rates everyone else

On a scale up to ten

You'll be quietly tallying up

All the losses and wins

Rehashing memories stuck on replay

I sure hope I never end up that way


(Chorus)

Cause I don't want, to hear what ya gotta say

You don't want, to leave it unsaid

We don’t want to be another part of this

Stupid conversation again


Taking the low road

Cause you don’t like to climb

Taking the short cut

Cause you're always behind

Taking the debt that you'll never repay

I sure hope I never end up that way

And you say

It's always someone elses fault (All we ever hear you say)

But we're not listening at all
