Lyrics

[Verse 1] Here's the decline, the ballad of you and I We wrote the first verse, you crossed out the middle eight The rise and the fall of our own little empire Where you play the conqueror, and I was the overcome [Chorus 1] I was the overcome (La, la, la, la, la, la, la) I was the overcome (La, la, la, la, la, la, la) I was the overcome [Verse 2] I'll be your doormat, be trampled all over I'll be alone like a sad little loner If this is our song then you're the composer I'm not a game but you'll play me anyway [Chorus 2] You'll play me anyway (La, la, la, la, la, la, la) You'll play me anyway (La, la, la, la, la, la, la) You'll play me anyway [Interlude] I know when I'm right I'm never wrong I know when I'm right I'm never wrong [Verse 3] So long sails a ship, of me plus you I'll man the ropes, you hoist the anchor You try to tell me, I'm better off without you And your just a burden, but that's so untrue [Chorus 3] The ballad of you and I The ballad of you and I The ballad of you and I [Interlude] I know when I'm right I'm never wrong I know when I'm right I'm never wrong [Verse 4] Now, I don't want you It's my own divide and conquer The grass is always greener The grass is always greener [Outro] The grass is always greener (the ballad of you and I) The grass is always greener (the ballad of you and I) The grass is always greener (the ballad of you and I) The grass is always greener -I, the ballad of you and I The ballad of you and I The ballad of you and I
