It's the decline, the ballad of you and I
We were the first [?] to cross out the middle age
The rise and the fall of our own little empire
Where you play the conqueror, and I was the overcome

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

Open your door, man
Been trampled all over
I'll be a like a sad little loner
If this is our song, but you're the composer
I'm not a game but you'll play me anyway

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

I know when I'm right
I'm never wrong
I know when I'm right
I'm never wrong

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

The ballad of you and I
The ballad of you and I
The ballad of you and I

I know when I'm right
I'm never wrong
I know when I'm right
I'm never wrong

Now, I don't want you
It's my own divide and conquer
The grass is always greener
The grass is always greener

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
