(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 I've 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 you've said about me when I'm not around
You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep puttin' me down
(But I've had too many) stand-offs with you
It's about as much as I can stand
So I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine

One minute, you're on top (The next you're not, watch you drop)
Making your heart stop (Just before you hit the floor)
One minute, you're on top (The next you're not, missed your shot)
Making your heart stop (You think you won)
And then It's 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 I'm not stepped on
(There are so many) things you say that make me feel like you've crossed the line
What goes up will surely fall and I'm counting down the time
(Cause I've had so many) stand-offs with you
It's about as much as I can stand
So I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine

One minute, you're on top (The next you're not, watch you drop)
Making your heart stop (Just before you hit the floor)
One minute, you're on top (The next you're not, missed your shot)
Making your heart stop (You think you won)
And then It's all gone
And, then, it's all gone
And, then, it's all gone
And, then, it's all gone
Now, it's all gone

I know I'll 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, you're on top (The next you're not, watch you drop)
Making your heart stop (Just before you hit the floor)
One minute, you're on top (The next you're not, missed your shot)
Making your heart stop (You think you won)
And then It's all gone
And, then, it's all gone
And, then, it's all gone
And, then, it's all gone
Now, it's all gone
