I used to think that you
Had something special
And now I just hear how your ego floats every note
They told me that it's bad advice
To try and meet your heroes
Now I know the truth in that
You can sing whatever you want
And someone will listen, yeah
You can say whatever you like
And they will always agree with you
But I see the real you slipping through
I used to see the wool in my eyes
And marvel at the texture, the colour, the size
But now all I see
Is your sycophants, black roses falling and fawning and
You'll never be the belle of the ball
Well, not for me
You can sing whatever you want
And someone will listen, yeah
You can say whatever you like
And they will always agree with you
But I see the real you slipping through
Oh Amanda, Amanda Oh!
Oh Amanda, Amanda Oh!
And the irony of me writing this song for you is not lost
And I hope that I can exorcise my disappointment at very little cost
The flowers that I sent for you
Well I hope they've all died or failed to bloom
As my respect for you
Falls off petal by petal by petal
And you never even knew
