Capital M-E

The nicest man I ever met
 Was more malicious than malcontent
 Yeah, he taught me how to hold my tongue
 And wait to strike 'til their backs were turned
 And you slither away like the snake that you are
 Yeah, you slither away like the snake that you are
 And all I ever did was look up to you
 And if all I ever did was let, let you down
 Ain't nothing stopping me now
 The vanities fell correctly beneath
 The receding part of his twenties
 Was capital M-E (I couldn't subscribe)
 Was capital M-E (but you can't say I didn't try)
 You say what you want (maybe I didn't get my way)
 So you say what you want (maybe I didn't get my way)
 But I got, I got away
 All I ever did was look up to you
 And if all I ever did was let, let you down
 Ain't nothing stopping me now
 Was it everything you hoped for?
 Was it all of that and more?
 Too much too soon?
 Or too good to be true?
 Was it everything you hoped for?
 Was it all of that and more?
 Well, all I ever did was look up to you
 And if all I ever did was let, let you down
 Ain't nothing stopping me now
 But all I ever did was look up to you
 And if all I ever did was let, let you down
 Ain't nothing stopping me now
