Cold Shoulder Track

Who owns who?
Do you really care what I do?
It seems to be just me
I own this future I see
You set the mold
But there is nothing here to be sold
You’re like gold
But this is getting so, so old

It makes me sick
All this Ritchie rich, slip pass and stitch
Who knows which is which?
I must have missed the sales pitch
What a trick
I feel this inside
You push me to hide
Give me a chance, I’ll break though
I won’t return back to you
The leap of faith
“If you’re gonna do it, you should do it now”
Keep your grip somehow
“Thou shale not staith”

I can’t tell you how glad I am
Now that you are gone
I’ve heard of what it takes to be a man
It feels like I’ve done all I can
I’m water trapped behind a dam
That one step I keep tripping on
I was the one good thing you had
It doesn’t change the fact that I’m glad
You’ve driven me beyond mad
And I’m not gonna sit and be so sad

Our last exchange sums it perfectly
I just wanted to give a friendly “hi”
You stared straight ahead
Refusing to acknowledge me
Really, another cold shoulder?
Just leave already
Quit telling everyone “bye”
Just remember, I’ll stick to you like led
You will hear this; I won’t remember who you were
