Taking Back Sunday - Where My Mouth Is

see, it's not like i didn't mean what i said when i said it
i'll put my money where my mouth is.
& i'll put my money where my mouth was
until i couldn't breathe through my nose


& now i'm staring at the floor
where my second life just ended
where i lost not one but two friends


yeah, i had it all.
sittin' on top of the world
but i threw it away
just to prove that i could
i put my money where my mouth is.


see, i recall quite perfectly who i was
both before & after the drugs
both before & after the drugs


i put my money where my mouth is
& i put my money where my mouth was


i got a strong will, just weak hands
& i don't know what to do with either one of them


yeah, i had it all
sittin' on top of the world
& i threw it away
just to prove that i could


i put my money where my mouth is
i put my money where my mouth is
i put my money where my mouth is


you're the knight in shining armour
with a mother & a father
you had everything, everything you needed
& it was made crystal clear, that it would not change.


yeah, i had it all
sittin' on top of the world
& i threw it away
just to prove that i could
yeah, i had it all, yeah i had it so good
but i threw it away, just to prove that i could


i put my money where my mouth is
i put my money where my mouth is
i put my money where my mouth is
yeah, i had it all.
