I'm Not the Wind beneath your Wings

Your sugar-coated put-downs
Back-handed compliments
I can see you thinking
How I'd hang around content

No need apologizing
Your colors show right through
It's not about connecting
It's what I can do for you

And while I waited quietly
For my turn to sing
You thought I was the wind beneath your wings

I'm not the wind beneath your wings
I'm not the wind beneath your wings
I'm sorry but the truth is gonna sting
I'm not the wind beneath your wings, no no no no
I'm not the wind beneath your wings

Surround yourself with robots
Just wired to say yes
They're strung out on your headlines
As you fall for your own press

I see you love the limelight
Almost more than life itself
But the hook is right behind you
To make room for someone else

I shake my head and wonder
How you got to be the king
And beat me down like wind beneath your wings

Yeah, publicly you thank me
While you're basking in the sun
Still privately, I realize
I could be anyone

So let's take what I see coming
Write it down in one quick blurb
You'll get what you can from me
Then just kick me to the curb

I have got ambition
For so many other things
Than just to be the wind beneath your wings

I'm not the wind beneath your wings
I'm not the wind beneath your wings
I'm sorry but the truth is gonna sting
I'm not the wind beneath your wings, no no no no
I'm not the wind beneath your wings, no no no no
I'm not the wind beneath your wings - no no no no
I'm not the wind beneath your wings - no no no no no
