[Verse 1]
Words are meant to be taught
Love's not meant to be lost
You said that if I'm happy, you're cured, but I'm not
I know you have a delicate fate
You're a quiet man, but in the worst way
I'm not a follower and I won't follow you down
[Chorus]
Oh, Jameson, you've had your fun
Stop holding him, I wanna be the one
I promise you, I'll treat him right
Don't wanna fight, you don't need him like I do
[Verse 2]
I waited in the street outside
Sat in my car 'til my tears dried
I'm justifying people with pain tonight
I watched your fingers pointing the blame
It's the darkest of grey when you explain
I'm not a follower and I won't follow you down
[Chorus]
Oh, Jameson, you've had your fun
Stop holding him, I wanna be the one
I promise you, I'll treat him right
Don't wanna fight, you don't need him like I do
[Bridge]
I know I'll be okay
Don't tell me where or which way you go
Find someone else to take my place
You want me, but treat me like you don't
[Chorus]
Oh, Jameson, you've had your fun
Stop holding him, I wanna be the one
I promise you, I'll treat him right
Don't wanna fight, you don't need him like I do
