Black Train Jack Lyrics

I've seen you up I've seen you down
I have witnessed you at your highest and lowest moments.

I've seen you half dead on the ground
I have seen you so heavily defeated that you were nearly dead on the ground.

I've seen your rise I've seen your fall
I have seen you succeed and fail throughout your journey.

I Guess you can say I've seen it all
In total, I believe I have seen everything there is to know about you.

I've seen you climb I've seen you slip
I have watched you achieve success and then struggle and fail.

I've seen you pull every last damn trick
I have seen you use all of your tricks and gimmicks to try and climb to the top.

I've seen you scrape I've seen you crawl
I have observed you in your most vulnerable moments, scraping and crawling to survive.

I guess you were never that great at all
Despite your many efforts to prove yourself, I have realized that you were never really that great.

How quick you are to come on back
You seem to be eager to return quickly after you have walked away.

When you got too big you left us flat
After you reached some level of success, you decided to abandon us just like that.

It's sorry to watch you beg and plead
It is truly sad to see you begging and pleading for forgiveness.

Watch you crawl around on your hands and knees
I have seen you in your most humiliating moments as you crawl desperate and helpless on your hands and knees.

I felt your love I felt your hate
I have felt both your love and hatred towards me.

I felt sorry for you and I stopped the pain
Despite everything, I still felt sympathetic towards you and tried to prevent or lessen your suffering.

I felt so close I felt so far
At times, I felt an intimate emotional connection with you, but at other times, I felt distant and disconnected.

I still stayed true when we were at war
Even when we were in conflict, I remained loyal and steadfast to my own beliefs and values.

I felt you warm I felt you cold
I have felt both your warmth and coldness towards me and others.

And I knew your words were growing old
Over time, I realized that your words and promises were becoming increasingly meaningless and stale.

I had a friend who was always near
At some point, I had a constant companion who was always there for me on multiple levels.

And I miss you now 'cause you're not here
I now feel a sense of loss and sadness because my friend is no longer a part of my life.

When the one you left for left you flat
You suddenly decided to return when the person you left for betrayed or abandoned you.

I laughed when you asked just to stay friends
I couldn't help but laugh when you requested that we remain friends after everything you had done.

Why patch a wound that just won't mend
What is the point of fixing a relationship that is irreparably broken?

I want to know how did you think
I am curious to understand what led you to believe or assume certain things.

That I'd owe you one little thing
Why do you think I would owe you anything at all?

That I would let you get to me
Why do you think I would allow you to affect me or bring me down?
