From your ivory tower,
you fling slick stones
over my changes.
But I only met you on a dance floor.
You fall back on the friends
that you spit on, but they’ve
all been stepped on.
You say I’m the one
you’ve always wanted,
but my faults would drown
your arrogance.
I’m not a backup plan.
I’m just your new man.
