You liked me 'till you heard my shit on the radio

Well I hate to say but pop ain't going solo

You liked me 'till you heard my shit on the radio

But now I'm just too mainstream for you, oh no

You liked me 'till you seen me on your t.v.

Well if you're so low below then why you watching

You say good things come to those who wait

Well I’ve been waiting a long time for it

Chorus:

I remember the days when I was so eager to
satisfy you

And be less than I was just to prove I could walk
beside you

Now that I've flown away I see you've chosen to
stay behind me

And still you curse the day I decided to stay
true to myself

You say your quest is to bring it higher

Well I never seen change without a fire

But from your mouth I have seen a lot of burning

But underneath I think it's a lot of yearning

Your face, the colours change from green to
yellow

To the point where you can't even say hello

You tell me you'd kill me if I ever snob you out

Like that's what you'd expect from me, like
that's what I'm about

Chorus

Bridge:

It's so much easier to stay down there
guaranteeing you're cool

Than to sit up here exposing myself trying to
break through

Than to burn in the spotlight, turn in the
spitfire

Scream without making a sound, be up here and not
look down 

because we're all afraid of heights

Chorus

Why ya hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me hurt me
hurt me so so, 

leave me down down down down low leave me down da
down down da down da down 

down down...shit on the radio... shit on the
radio... shit on the radio... shit 

on the radio
