you thought I would be swinging for the fences

but I came out of the blocks too soon

everyone has tried to overstate their standing

while they’re dancing to the same old tune

I thought I would have been the laughing stock today

but you certainly took the cake

everyone will try to swing for the fences

But they’ll always run home too late

a blatant charade

I’ll wean myself off

no shine in the shade

could I live without your fake love

stalling, I will be stalling

Can’t keep my pride when I am crawling

I thought you would have had a hammer by today

you know the nails won’t pierce the walls by hand

All this time that you’ve been squandering away

and you never really took a stand

A blatant charade

I’ll never get paid

no sun in the shade

It’s better than being that made

stalling, I will be stalling

Can’t keep my pride when I am crawling

stalling, I will be stalling

Just watch me smile while I keep falling

you thought I would be swinging

you thought I would be swinging

you thought I would be swinging for the fencezzz

I thought you would have had a

I thought you would have had a

I thought you would have had a

hammer by today

stalling, I will be stalling

Can’t keep my pride when I am crawling

stalling, I will be stalling

Just watch me smile while I keep falling

stalling, I will be stalling

Can’t keep my pride when I am crawling

stalling, I will be stalling

Just watch me smile while I keep falling
