Capital M-E

The nicest man I ever met

Was more malicious than malcontent

Yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue

And wait to strike till their backs were turned

And you slither away like the snake that you are

Yeah, you slither away like the snake that you are



All I ever did was look up to you

And if all I ever did was let, let you down

Ain't nothing stopping me now



Divinities fell correctly beneath

The receding pride of his twenties

Was capital M-E

(I couldn't self describe)

Was capital M-E

(But you can't say I didn't try)



So you say what you want

(Maybe I didn't get my way)

So you say what you want

(Maybe I didn't get my way)

I got, I got away



All I ever did was look up to you

And if all I ever did was let, let you down

Ain't nothing stopping me now



Was it everything you hoped for?

Was it all that and more?

Too much, too soon

Or too good to be true

Was it everything you hoped for?

Was it all that and more?



All I ever did was look up to you

And if all I ever did was let, let you down

Ain't nothing stopping me now

All I ever did was look up to you

And if all I ever did was let, let you down

Ain't nothing stopping me now...
