Cold War Kids - Don't Look Down on Me lyrics

I erase those names from my memory banks
Get the wind knocked out, not the hurricane
I deserted you, this is no blame game
I had to go out and find my own way

Yeah, I used you up when I needed food
Snuck out the back door
We exchanged no words
Yeah, it hurt me, too, but I could not look
I was only in chapter three of my book

Don't look down on me don't look down on me
Don't look down on me don't look down on me

I give you my best
Though it don't make sense
Not to keep in touch to
Pretend it's worth less
'Cause, I got to live in the present tense
But, I still think of you when I look ahead

Don't look down on me don't look down on me
Don't look down on me don't look down on me

Did you confuse? Cut loose?
Hearin' news did you abuse?
And recluse? Don't look down on me

Don't look down on me don't look down on me
Don't look down on me don't look down on me
On me, on me, on me
