please, inform me

its true, you really can't face how crude you are

cover your face til all wounds turn to scar

where loyalty resides

you simply run and hide

wheres your leg to stand on?

you've got an awful daring tongue

wheres your leg to stand on?

to ever defend just what you've done

you take and take until you break them like its fun

oh, wheres your leg to stand on?

I see what you've become

and it kills me because I gave everything

to keep you close to me

but you're .blinded. by your self denial

and I think its going to take quite awhile

til you can face yourself

you're the only one to doubt what you did was wrong

so lie to yourself, darling

and blame it on me if you need

but you can't deny this death

was the result of your own greed

so wheres your leg to stand on?
