you sacrificed a happy home  
  now you have nothing to show  
  my energy's wasted on you  
  you must be such a proud man  
  you must be such a very proud man  
  i waited on the doorstep down the hallway  
  ears ringing from the words you threw  
  you ask me to think about what i've done  
  well mister tell me, how about you?  
  you must be such a proud man  
  you must be such a very proud man  
  (repeat)  
  i wait like a thief for a real emotion  
  as if it's a cure or a magic potion  
  i'm lost on ideas to escape the burning  
  and i long for the day when the tables turn  
  i'm watching you think you've got it made  
  you pace like an animal in a cag  
  it must have been something i said  
  my energy's wasted on you  
  you must be such a proud man  
  you must be such a very proud man  
  (repeat
