I erase those names from my memory banks,
Get the wind knocked out,
Not the hurricane,
I deserted you,
This is no blame game
I had to go out and find my own way.
Yeah, I used you up when I needed food,
Snuck out the back door,
We exchanged no words,
Yeah it hurt me, too,
But I could not hurt,
I was only in chapter three of my book.
Don't look down on me (x4)
I give you my best,
Though it don't make sense,
Not to keep in touch,
To pretend it's worth less,
'Cause I've got to live in the present tense,
But I still think of you when I look ahead.
Don't look down on me (x4)
Did you confuse?
Cutloose?
Hearin' news,
Did you abuse?
And recluse?
Don't look down on me (x5)
On me,
On me.
