THAN BEFORE.
BUT EVERY DAY,
ANOTHER PLOT, ANOTHER SCHEME
ANOTHER HOOK
FELL THROUGH.

SO YOU BLAMED ME, OR SOMEONE ELSE.
YOU FOUND NEW WAYS TO TELL YOUSELF.
HOW YOU WERE SURE
IT WAS THE CITY, THE BUSINESS,
The world!
NOT YOU.

HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU FIRST TOLD YOURSELF
YOU WEREN‘T GOOD ENOUGH TO TRY?
YOU NEVER DARED TO TRUST YOUR TALENT;

YOU LET SO MANY WITH MUCH LESS
PASS YOU BY.

SO OFF YOU WENT
HIDING YOUR BEST-
ALWAYS RUNNING FROM SUCCESS.
NOT YOUR FAULT

BENNY
It wasn‘t!

MADALYN

OTHER PEOPLE ALWAYS BLOCKED YOUR WAY;
THEY‘RE THE ONES WHO SHOULD BE BLAMED,
YOU‘D SAY,
NOT YOU. [High key: Chord: C susp.]

I REMEMBER LOTS OF CHANCES JUST LIKE THIS
I REMEMBER PLACES, PEOPLE, NAMES.
NOW HERE YOU ARE- OUT THERE ONCE AGAIN
JUST LIKE YOU WERE BACK THEN
IT‘S ALL THE SAME.

[High Key: C#/Notes up scale: d#-f-f#-g#-a (A7 chord)]

YOU NEED TO LOOK- OPEN YOUR EYES.
OF ALL THE PEOPLE YOU‘VE DESPISED
