I have no further interest in your schadenfreude
I know I've always been someone you'd rather avoid
So what made you think that I'd come back to scratch upon your door?
Yeah, I know we always had our battles - when did you start keeping score?
Cornered by the ceiling, cornered by the floor
Cornered by the circumstance, cornered at the door
Leave it near the handle of your iron gate
I'm sure you'll find someone else to tell you when you've done something great
I would have faced you straight on but you snuck out through the side
If we both have our reasons then we both sure have our pride
And you never will allow yourself to own up to the end
Just when you think it's gone for good it all comes up again
Cornered on the outside, cornered in the in,
Cornered at the end like you were cornered to begin
Leave it where you found it and don't speak another word
You've replied to what I'm saying but I'm not convinced you heard
Now I'm not here to tell you that you've done me wrong
You've had your hand in many places so much older than the song
Yeah I sang it in an instant - then I sang it all damned day
And now we're stuck with everything we think we can't unsay
Cornered in the alley, Cornered in the corn,
Cornered knowing I'm too late when I came here to warn
Leave it by the trees that float so free out near the back
To remind you that it's more than satisfaction that you lack
