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
