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 what 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 said about me when i'm not around.
you think having the upper hand means you got to keep putting me down?
but i've had too many standoffs 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,
next you're not, watch you drop!
making your heart stop,
just before you hit the floor!
one minute you're on top,
next you're not, missed a shot!
making your heart stop,
you think you've 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 you crossed the line,
what goes up will surely fall and i'm counting down the time.
'cause i've had so many standoffs with you it's about,
as much as i can stand so i'm waiting until the upper hand is mine.

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,
next you're not, watch you drop!
making your heart stop,
just before you hit the floor!
one minute you're on top,
next you're not, missed a shot!
making your heart stop,
you think you've won, and then it's all gone!

and then it's all gone!
now it's all gone!
