You liked me till’ you heard my shit on the radio

Well I hate to say but pop aint’ 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 then 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



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



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
