Songs I Write | III

Upper Hand

I feel like you don't know what you want
Push me up high and drag me down, how you run
Running past your responsibility to me
I'm not special or important to your day
I'm just an errand for you to delay
Time passes and you will never stay

And I can see that now
Oh, I've said this a hundred times
When will it get through to your brain?
Man, you make me so frustrated, like

Why can't you just be a decent man?
Are ethics and morals so hard to understand?
You've been riding high on your upper hand
No, I don't wanna stay, so stay saying that you will and can
Why can't you just be a decent man?
Are ethics and morals so hard to understand?
You've been riding high on your upper hand
No, I don't wanna stay, so stay saying that you will and can

I see you forcing yourself to contemplate
Force decisions that you regret when it's too late
I know you too well now to leave it up to fate
I'm no one special, maybe was once before
I'm just another name to add to your score
I'm left to wonder, when did you become bored?

And I can see that now
Oh, I've said this a hundred times
When will it get through to your brain?
Man, you make me so frustrated, like

Why can't you just be a decent man?
Are ethics and morals so hard to understand?
You've been riding high on your upper hand
No, I don't wanna stay, so stay saying that you will and can
Why can't you just be a decent man?
Are ethics and morals so hard to understand?
You've been riding high on your upper hand
No, I don't wanna stay, so stay saying that you will and can

I believe you've felt this way you'll never say out-loud
Wanna leave you since it's what you want but you're too proud
To admit you wanna make your way, make it out
I used to try to convince you that I'm the one for you
But I'm so not bothered to pave your way through
You should tell everybody the truth

And I can see that now
Oh, I've said this a hundred times
When will it get through to your brain?
Man, you make me so frustrated, like

Why can't you just be a decent man?
Are ethics and morals so hard to understand?
You've been riding high on your upper hand
No, I don't wanna stay, so stay saying that you will and can
Why can't you just be a decent man?
Are ethics and morals so hard to understand?
You've been riding high on your upper hand
No, I don't wanna stay, so stay saying that you will and can
