[Verse 1]
I've been meaning to ask you
How life looks from the nose bleed seats
And to ask how it feels to bleed
Your life's a waste
And the way that I'll ask it
Will have revenge woven throughout
But will be masked with the concern that a friend would bring
You're so incomplete
Hold a mirror to show just what you've become
And read your diary to figure out where things went wrong
I don't think I'll ever understand
How a cowardly cat can call himself a man
[Pre-Chorus]
You're all show and it's getting old
You're all show and it's getting old
[Chorus]
As for the rest of us
We'll do fine with what we have
Making the best of what is left
And you're a naysayer
Who will never know what it's like
To really have half a life
[Verse 2]
I've been meaning to harm you
In the best way that I see fit
I'm not sure if this did the trick
But I think It did
Hold a mirror to show just what you've become
And read your eulogy to figure out where things went wrong
I hope one day you understand that
A girl on your arm won't make you a man
[Pre-Chorus]
You're all show and it's getting old
You're all show and it's getting old
[Chorus]
As for the rest of us
We'll do fine with what we have
Making the best of what is left
And you're a naysayer
Who will never know what it's like
To really have half a life
[Bridge]
Keep walking down your shallow lonely road
It's dark and cold and it's yours and yours alone
[Bridge 2]
If you dig too deep are you scared you'll find something?
Spoonfuls of shit will surely add up
Inside you're begging for a cure for your disease
Your life's a crime scene and it won't help to blame me
[Chorus]
As for the rest of us
We'll do fine with what we have
Making the best of what is left
And you're a naysayer
Who will never know what it's like
To really have half a life
