Against Me! - Graceful Concession lyrics

Your talent outshines all that I
Could ever do or say and me and my jealousy
I stole your songs and passed
Them off as my own
As much as I would like for it not to show
You can smell the stink on my
Breath and in my clothes, it's so obvious
Oh if I could only be half the
Things you write about in your songs
If I could only mean half as much to anyone

And in my arrogance I write pages
Of anger hate and spite
All of the reasons I have
To trust absolutely no one
Today I heard you on my
Stereo and it shamed me
Yes it shamed me to think that
I could be so unoriginal

Oh if I could only be half
The genius that you are
To feel such honest want, to show love
I would show you love i would show you love
I would show you love
Oh if I could only feel half
As resolute in my beliefs
If I could only sing with such bravery
I can not explain how much you mean to me
Without your words, I would be lost
