If I had been better looking
If I made you a million
If I had held you at gunpoint
Could I still be forgiven?
Oh please
Why don't you believe me?
With a standing ovation
Or an honourable mention
If I was better in high school
Would the medals that they gave to me
Help you to believe me?
Don't you leave me here in the pouring rain
If I pretended to be different, well I'd still feel the same
I'll give you anything you think that you need
But surely I've earned credit
So why don't you believe me?
If I gave better direction
If I was charming and useless
If I had made fabrications
If I had lied would you do less for me?
So why don't you believe me?
Don't you leave me here in the pouring rain
If I pretended to be different, well I'd still feel the same
What's the sense in prying if I say it's the truth
You shouldn't need a guarantee
You shouldn't need proof
I'll give you anything you think that you need
But surely I've earned credit
So why don't you believe me?
