Where My Mouth is - Taking Back Sunday

See it's not like I didn't mean what I said
When I said I'll put my money where my mouth is
And I put my money where my mouth was
Until I couldn't breathe through my nose
And 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
Well just to prove that I could
I put my money where my mouth is

See I recall quite perfectly who I was
Both before and after the drugs
Both before and 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
And I don't know what to do with either one of them

Yeah I had it all
Sittin' on top of the world
But I threw it away
Just to prove that I could
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 a knight in shining armor of a mother and a father
You had everything, everything you needed
And it was made crystal clear that would not change

Yeah I had it all
Sittin' on top of the world
But I threw it away
(Why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
Just to prove that I could
Yeah I had it all
(why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
And I had it good, so good
But I threw it away
(Why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
Just to prove that I could
I could
Just to prove that I could

(why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
I put my money where my mouth is
(why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
I put my money where my mouth is, is
(why'd you do it? Why, why'd you do it?)
I put my money where my mouth is
Yeah I had it all
