i didn't ever wanna alienate you
you couldn't make it past my wall
and now i miss you
i was a fool to let friendships be discarded
i thought i was too cool
but i was too retarded
how could i be so blind
and what's wrong with my mind?
i never thought that i'd be even less than typical
but i keep getting burned
for speaking out of turn
i wanna show what i know even though
i have a lot to learn
and even you were starting to dis me
and even you were starting to dis me
and even you were starting to dis me
it makes me feel so sick
that i get such a kick
out of being the one that they talk about
but i love to hear my name
my ego takes the blame
i always get a return on what i earn
but i have a lot to learn
i wanna say something
before it's all forgotten
but that part of me and you seems to have grown so rotten
i can't say i ever really understood you
i now know a little more than i then knew about what not to do
i know now i was wrong
but now isn't very long
will i still hate myself in the morning
change isn't always good
but something tells me that i should
so it's a brand new james that i'm forming
you gave me this guitar
made me feel like a star
and if experience really makes us who we are
i hope this one takes me far
