Please believe me
This isn't where I want to be
Almost off my feet in a world rotating too fast for me
If I'm a fresh struck match, you're a gust of wind
Sure the breeze feels fine, but you blow all the time
Tell me, what's so wrong with letting me shine?
Yeah, tell me, what's so wrong with letting me shine?

Come on down here, its nice and dark
I'm a gas can, you're the spark
You keep your ego, and I'll keep my peace of mind
You just keep drinking while I think up all of the lies, oh
I have to tell to explain ourselves after tonight
You be the leader, and I'll keep my place in line

I am the garbage and the disposal
I am a late model almost totaled
Still a charm around my neck
'Cause I haven't learned to tie a noose quite yet
If I'm a fresh struck match, you're a gust of wind
Sure, the breeze feels fine but you blow all the time
Tell me, what's so wrong with letting me shine?
Yeah, tell me, what's so wrong with letting me shine?

Come on down here, it's nice and dark
I'm a gas can, you're the spark
You keep your ego, and I'll keep my peace of mind
You just keep drinking while I think up all of the lies, oh
I have to tell to explain ourselves after tonight
You be the leader, and I'll keep my place in line
I can't stand the way you're looking at me
I can't stand the way I'm looking at me
I can't stand the way you're looking at me
I can't stand the way I'm looking at me

You keep your ego, and I'll keep my peace of mind
You just keep drinking while I think up all of the lies, oh
I'll have to tell to explain ourselves after tonight
You be the leader, and I'll keep my place in line
