Lyrics
You've got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend
You have a lot of audacity to claim you are my friend.
When I was down you just stood there grinnin'
During my difficult times, you only stood there grinning without offering support.
You've got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend
You boldly assert having a helping hand to offer, but it's just a facade to align with the winning side.
You just want to be on the side that's winnin'
Your allegiance is solely to the side that appears victorious.
You say I let you down, ya know its not like that
Denying accusations of letting you down, expressing it's not as you claim.
If you're so hurt, why then don't you show it?
Questioning the sincerity of your hurt, challenging you to show genuine emotions.
You say you've lost your faith, but that's not where its at
You assert losing faith, but you never had faith to begin with.
You have no faith to lose, and ya know it
Highlighting the lack of genuine faith, emphasizing your awareness of it.
I know the reason, that you talked behind my back
Revealing the motivation behind talking negatively about the speaker.
I used to be among the crowd you're in with
Previously being part of the same social circle as the detractor.
Do you take me for such a fool, to think I'd make contact
Challenging the idea of making contact with someone who hides their ignorance.
With the one who tries to hide what he don't know to begin with?
Questioning the intelligence of associating with someone who conceals their lack of knowledge.
You see me on the street, you always act surprised
Observing a pretense of surprise when encountering the speaker in public.
You say "how are you?", "good luck", but ya don't mean it
Polite greetings are expressed, but without genuine sincerity.
When you know as well as me, you'd rather see me paralyzed
Noting the preference for the speaker to face difficulties rather than wishing them well.
Why don't you just come out once and scream it
Suggesting direct expression of negative feelings instead of concealing them.
No, I do not feel that good when I see the heartbreaks you embrace
Disapproving of the joy derived from witnessing the suffering and heartbreaks of others.
If I was a master thief perhaps I'd rob them
Contemplating a hypothetical scenario where the speaker might resort to theft like a master thief.
And tho I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place
Acknowledging dissatisfaction with your own situation but making it clear it's not the speaker's problem.
Don't you understand, its not my problem?
Emphasizing that the issues and dissatisfaction are not the responsibility of the speaker.
I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
Expressing a desire for you to experience the speaker's perspective and challenges.
And just for that one moment I could be you
Wishing for a moment of empathy, where you could understand the speaker's life.
Yes, I wish that for just one time you could stand inside my shoes
Reiterating the wish for you to briefly stand in the speaker's shoes to comprehend their struggles.
You'd know what a drag it is to see you
Highlighting the frustration of witnessing your behavior from the speaker's perspective.
