Everything
(The song was born of many
rejections and disappointments. Strangely
enough, it's turned into one of the funner
songs we play. Is "funner" a word??)


There's no turning back now
The words have left now there is no doubt
I thought you were my friend
Trusting enough to let my guard down
You took what I gave you
And told me it meant nothing to you at all
And I should've known better
Cause just like the rest you want to see me fall

Everything I learned I learned from you
About lies and deceiving and all your cold dealing
Every time I tried you cut me down
With cries of derision that clouded my vision

For whom were you looking
One who clear and plain just more of the same
I don't fit that makeup
And leading me on was your way to have fun
There were promises given
About what you'd do how you'd help me through
In the night it seemed alright
But when the sun rose I was all alone

(Chorus)

I can't take it much longer
There's no one who'll accept me
My defenses are falling
And the future I can't see
Is this what you really wanted
To take everything I loved
For now it's your little victory
But I won't ever give up

It was never enough to try to fit in with you
If I played either side only the other would do
So I'll leave all the doubt, it's just a tired old game
Saying I can't win, your own fear's to blame

(Chorus)
I'll take every word and commit it to heart
That'll serve as reminder of all that I'll fight for
And with every day there'll be one piece more
To prove you are the one who is wrong about everything
