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 rememeber 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.
