about

Sometimes it's hard to keep the Upper Hand...

lyrics

I won't tell you that I'm one of a kind, oh no!
I'm one step ahead, and two behind
Ain't nothing special in my petty life, I know
But could you see me with an open mind?

I don't care about the Ritz and the glitz, oh no!
Don't care about the fame and the game
I don't mind you said "Let's call it quits", oh well
I'd like to think that I cared about you

You clearly thought that I was a fool
You took me for granted, now that is so uncool
I've tried my best to keep the upper hand
Now tell me what is so hard to understand?

And you believe that I've been holding you back, have I?
You're looking forward, I'm looking around
I took a while to really get back on track, oh well
I couldn't keep my feet so firm on the ground.

You clearly thought that I was a fool
You took me for granted, now that is so uncool
I've tried my best to keep the upper hand
Now tell me what is so hard to understand?

We've been together for a million years, it seems
All this time was not a walk in the park
Now that our worlds have such a disconnect, ah well
Let's turn the page and forget about that...

You clearly thought that I was a fool
You took me for granted, now that is so uncool
I've tried my best to keep the upper hand
Just tell me why it's so hard to understand?
