New Again

The nicest man I ever met 
Was more malicious than malcontent 
Yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue 
And wait to strike till their backs were turned 
And you slither away like the snake that you are 
Yeah, you slither away like the snake that you are 


All I ever did was look up to you 
And if all I ever did was let, let you down 
Ain't nothing stopping me now 


Divinities fell correctly beneath 
The receding pride of his twenties 
Was capital M-E 
(I couldn't self describe) 
Was capital M-E 
(But you can't say I didn't try) 


So you say what you want 
(Maybe I didn't get my way) 
So you say what you want 
(Maybe I didn't get my way) 
I got, I got away 


All I ever did was look up to you 
And if all I ever did was let, let you down 
Ain't nothing stopping me now 


Was it everything you hoped for? 
Was it all that and more? 
Too much, too soon 
Or too good to be true 
Was it everything you hoped for? 
Was it all that and more? 


All I ever did was look up to you 
And if all I ever did was let, let you down 
Ain't nothing stopping me now 
All I ever did was look up to you 
And if all I ever did was let, let you down 
Ain't nothing stopping me now...
