Me
Shelley Raymond
c. 2005

Because you have to have things your way
Because you’ve never had to care
Because you’ve never had these feelings
or you’ve never thought to share

Because you make me feel so small
when I am looking up to you,
and measuring your ego
is your favorite thing to do

Because you just can’t say you’re sorry
and you always think you’re right
I’ve never taken you for granted,
but this time I think I might
And I know that you’re a genius,
so it’s a shame that you can’t see
that the best thing you’ve got going for you is me

And you claim that you’re insensitive
as if I didn’t know
and you think that by admitting this
it will help to ease the blow

Even though you are compassionate
it is always on your terms
and to get a word in edgewise
I will have to wait my turn

Because you just can’t say you’re sorry
and you always think you’re right
I’ve never taken you for granted,
but this time I think I might
And I know that you’re a genius,
so it’s a shame that you can’t see
that the best thing you’ve got going for you is me


I haven’t had the courage to tell you
but it’s sure been on my mind
I try to avoid confrontation
but it’s like you live for it, and besides
I don’t like pointing the finger
'cause we’ve all got our flaws
and I feel the effects;
it’s time you know the cause

You don’t know how to say you’re sorry
and you always think you’re right
I’ve never taken you for granted,
but I this time I think I might
And I know that you’re a genius,
so it’s a shame that you can’t see
that the best thing you’ve got going
for you is me
