You had big dreams
of being a star
but your pride didn’t let you get that far
and so you settled for a life
that everybody else lives
you got your wife
and your cars
and your house
and your kids
and still you walk with your pride
your words filled with lies
and you tell yourself it’s always
what you wanted and you smile
and they only see
what you want them to see
serving spoons full of promises
you never mean to keep
You’ll hear these words
and you’ll disagree
but I know you better
than you think
Whose gonna save you from yourself
when you’re starting to believe the lies
you tell everyone else
You blow her a kiss and wave goodbye
and she stands and she smiles
and she wonders why
you can have anyone that you choose
the perfect man and a love
that she could never bear to lose
and you drive away
and her heart skips a beat
and you pick up your phone
and another woman speaks
You tell her you love her
and you’ll see her soon
And you turn up the radio
and look up at the moon
You’ll hear these words
and you’ll disagree
but I know you better
than you think
Whose gonna save you from yourself
when you’re starting to believe the lies
you tell everyone else
Surrounding yourself with women
that will never leave
you like them attached
so they can’t wander free
taking care of their families
Keeps them busy
and you can call on whoever
it is that you need
You tell them you love them
and they will believe
You’re the knight in shining armor
that makes them feel free
and you think that this
makes you a better man
because you give them the love
that their husbands can’t
You’ll hear these words
and you’ll disagree
but I know you better
than you think
Whose gonna save you from yourself
when you’re starting to believe the lies
you tell everyone else
