Over years and months you said to me
You'd show me the way
Only words you said I would believe
Then you threw it away
Did you get what you deserved?
Did you find your proof?
If you stand in line, will you take the time to know the truth
Sing with me, you know they won't catch you
My dear friend the writing's on the wall
You painted a sweet picture
Then you pulled the rug out from underneath us
If I could be more specific appropriating blame
I'd take out pen and paper
And write down your own name
This calls for something clever
Say something for all our pain
Did you get what you deserved?
Did you find your proof?
If you stand in line, will you take the time to know the truth
Sing with me, you know they won't catch you
Maybe we could be all out of tune
But the words would still ring true
Even if we could write a song overnight
Would it be enough for you
Now I sing myself to sleep
Last I looked you in the eye
There was never any deceit
Here I call you from your perch
Remind you of your words
You said you'd desert the man who lost his grounding to the earth
