Took a chance on you
Took us down right there mid-flight
No I know turbulence
And I know wrong from right
But I'll hold it in
Won't let you see me cry
Not that you'd even be checked in
If in the way of your good time
Breaking the bank
(And breaking your back)
Trying to kiss the ends
(Of those you want to impress)
Just a casualty
(Of the upper crust)
Guess I gave you everything
Just not enough
I'm sick and tired of playing these little games
With boys who always run ahead at the start
They'll take your hand
Enough to pull a little higher
Then leave you when the going gets hard
They're climbing up the mountain
Their heads filling up the clouds
And they'll push you down
If it means they'll get
A better seat at the table now
Tell me why
Why you do the things you do
What's running through your mind
What do you have to lose
Morally going down
As your status starts to rise
In the end who will stick around
When you leave everyone behind
Breaking the bank
(And breaking your back)
Trying to kiss the ends
(Of those you want to impress)
Just a casualty
(Of the upper crust)
Guess I gave you everything
Just not enough
I'm sick and tired of playing these little games
With boys who always run ahead at the start
They'll take your hand
Enough to pull a little higher
Then leave you when the going gets hard
They're climbing up the mountain
Their heads filling up the clouds
And they'll push you down
If it means they'll get
A better seat at the table now
Thought I knew you
Paid the price
Showed your temper
Your mean side
Sold your soul for a little slice
Of the limelight
So quick to throw it all away
Big words with nothing real to say
Anything not to slip away
Thought I knew you
I'm sick and tired of playing these little games
With boys who always run ahead at the start
They'll take your hand
Enough to pull a little higher
Then leave you when the going gets hard
They're climbing up the mountain
Their heads filling up the clouds
And they'll push you down
If it means they'll get
A better seat at the table now
