In The Corner

I had so much to give you

But you threw it all away

So I hole up in this corner

And act like I've nothing to say

Knowing that as soon as you ask me

If there's something wrong

I might blow up any minute

You'll say "I knew it all along

Yeah, he's just another young cynic

We get them all the time

If he just knew how to channel

All that anger he'd be fine".

So I sit with all these wishes and dreams dying on the vine

Knowing I could make you happy for a minute with a lie

But soon you'd see right through me

And like the rest I'd blow away

Cause I wasn't what you wanted

I don't make you feel okay

You'd say "if he just had kept some edge.

Man he looks so polished now

To bad I remember one time,

Should have heard the things he'd said,

And it all seemed so reckless

And I felt just like a kid.

Now he makes me nervous.

I think I'll look somewhere else instead.

So I sit here in this corner

So afraid to make a move.

If I start to look embarrassed

It's because I know you knew

All the bravery, all the anger

Was just covering up the fear

That I'd end up in some corner.

Now I sit here.
