Lyrics

I erase those names from my memory banks,
Get the wind knocked out,
Not the hurricane,
I deserted you,
This is no blame game
I had to go out and find my own way.
Yeah, I used you up when I needed food,
Snuck out the back door,
We exchanged no words,
Yeah it hurt me, too,
But I could not hurt,
I was only in chapter three of my book.
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
I give you my best,
Though it don't make sense,
Not to keep in touch,
To pretend it's worth less,
'Cause I've got to live in the present tense,
But I still think of you when I look ahead.
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
Did you - confuse?
Cut-loose?
Hearin' news,
Did you - abuse?
And recluse?
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
Don't look down on me
On me, on me, on me.
