Jack Ingram - In The Corner lyrics

rate me

I had so much to give you <br />But you threw it all away <br />So I hole up in this corner <br />And act like I've nothing to say <br />Knowing that as soon as you ask me <br />If there's something wrong <br />I might blow up any minute <br />You'll say "I knew it all along <br />Yeah, he's just another young cynic <br />We get them all the time <br />If he just knew how to channel <br />All that anger he'd be fine". <br />So I sit with all these wishes and dreams dying on the vine <br />Knowing I could make you happy for a minute with a lie <br />But then soon you'd see right through me <br />And like the rest I'd blown away <br />Cause I wasn't what you wanted <br />I don't make you feel okay <br />You'd say "if he just kept some edge. <br />And it all seemed so reckless <br />And I felt just like a kid. <br />Now he makes me nervous. <br />I think I'll look somewhere else instead." <br /> <br />So I sit here in this corner <br />So afraid to make a move. <br />If I start to look embarrassed <br />It's because I know you knew <br />All the bravery, all the anger <br />Was just covering up the fear <br />That I'd end up in some corner. <br />Now I sit here.<br /><br />
