I tried to brace myself for impact
But the preparation was nearly useless
Almost as useless...
As my earlier efforts
I can't keep this inside!
If you're gonna brag, don't brag on me
You wish you had your hands in this
But the truth is the truth, that's all
And at first we weren't noticing the way you talked to us all
In reverse, forced to walk upon a string in hopes that we won't fall
And you plucked the young group from the heart of the hills
With the promise of the world to dangle
In front of her face.. his face.. her face...
What if we left you behind?
The tables turned, this time not me
If you were half as tough as you thought you were
Then you'd stand there like a man
And at first we weren't noticing the way you talked to us all
In reverse, forced to walk upon a string in hopes that we won't fall
The look on your face
A smile that never took its place
It's absent, like me
We'll give it to you...
What if we left you behind?
The tables turned, this time not me
If you were half as tough...
Half-a** tough
I tried to brace myself
I can't keep this inside!
If you're gonna brag, don't brag on me
You wish you had your hands in this
But the truth is the truth, that's all
