There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me
Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesy
Too many times that Ive held on when I needed to push away
Afraid to say what was on my mind, afraid to say what I need to say
Too many things that youve said about me when Im not around
You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep puttin me down
But Ive had too many stand-offs with you, its about as much as I can stand
So Im waiting until the upper hand is mine
One minute, youre on top
The next youre not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute, youre on top
The next youre not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you won, and then its all gone
So many people like me put so much trust in all your lies
So concerned with what you think to just say what we feel inside
So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long
All I know is that all I want is to feel like Im not stepped on
There are so many things you say that make me feel you crossed the line
What goes up will surely fall, and Im counting down the time
Cause Ive had so many stand-offs with you, its about as much as I can stand
So Im waiting until the upper hand is mine
One minute, youre on top
The next youre not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute, youre on top
The next youre not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you won
And then, its all gone
And then, its all gone
And then, its all gone
And then, its all gone
Now its all gone
I know Ill never trust a single thing you say
You knew your lies would divide us, but you lied anyway
And all the lies have got you floating up above us all
But what goes up has got to fall
One minute, youre on top
The next youre not, watch it drop
Making your heart stop
Just before you hit the floor
One minute, youre on top
The next youre not, missed your shot
Making your heart stop
You think you won
And then, its all gone
And then, its all gone
And then, its all gone
And then, its all gone
Now its all gone
