The Best Offence

歌詞

Don't tell me they all hate me now too Don't tell me it all comes back to you The only thing I can think to do Is to sap some strength From somebody new I miss not knowing you so well You make yourself useful to each one who cries And then left without you they'll be paralyzed My self-respect means more to me than you do Or at least it used to I wonder what it was I thought that I knew Did I realize I would never be enough for you? You ask again what is it that I'm waiting for That is a stupid question That is to be sure You sit there calmly with your eloquence And I thought the best offence was a good defence But I keep losing every round I remember when it all started going down I remember the beer caught in my throat And the lonely comfort of my only winter coat I could tell you exactly when I fell It was back when I did not know you so well
