Retreat

Retreat:

I just need this time to reflect: I refuse to retreat

I made you shine, I made you a star, I lifted you so high, I believed, I believed

I am afraid I made a mistake: and you are not as great as I had thought� you�re so young

Bound by the temptation of flashy things: held captive by the desire for greater things

I guess I was just . . . yesterday

I just need this time to reflect: I refuse to retreat

I made you sparkle and glow in the dark; baby you stole the show, I believed, I believed

I am afraid you did wrong by me: now when you fall this time - I am moving� oops� here you go

Oh did that big bad floor hurt you?

Well hot damn! Look at you; good thing your young, that should heal quickly

Call me someday I will answer if I am not too busy: um� free advice

Next time you have a cushion, don�t misuse it

�Bet you wish I was there this time don�t you?� He had no clue how bruises tickled

I just need this time to reflect: I refuse to retreat

I made you shine, I made you a star, I lifted you so high, I believed, I believed

I am afraid I made a mistake: and you are not as great as I had thought� you�re so young

Bound by the temptation of flashy things: held captive by the desire for greater things

I guess I was just . . . yesterday

I just need this time to reflect: I refuse to retreat

I made you sparkle and glow in the dark; baby you stole the show, I believed, I believed
