Therefore I Am
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Me, I'm getting better everyday
That's what I said
Don't believe what you've heard
It's not like I want to be king
But I can't help myself
It's just that I am
Sorry, but I found someone new
To spend time
Instead of you, I spend it with me
You see, I've traveled round the world
I've seen so many things
Why am I talking to you?
Why do you hide, behind, somebody else
There's one too many, in this room, and I think it's you
As you can see, I'm a happy guy
Don't need nothin' to get me down
'Cause I'll always have you
We are, are on a sinking ship
But I'd like to stay on board
And shoot the cannons at you
Why do you hide, behind, somebody else
There's one too many, in this room, and I think it's you
