There I was waiting as I’d waited before
Listening for something outside of your door
I guess you had better things to do
I guess you just had better things to do

I’d hate to think I was forgotten
But that was it down at rock bottom
I bet you had other things on your mind
You musta had other things on your mind

There I was at the keyhole
I live’d my life too much like a mole
I guess I might as well have just been dirt
I guess I was just dirt

You was all bottled up inside
I don’t know what the hell you were trying to hide
I guess I might as well have been a dead light bulb
I guess I might as well have been a dead light bulb

Whatever it was you made it worse
From the center of your tiny universe
I guess I was just a figment of your imagination
I guess I was just a figment of your imagination

And all the times I tried to help
But you just wouldn’t help yourself
I guess I musta been nothing but an irritation
I guess I was just an irritation

You was all wrapped up in your misery
There really wasn’t any place for me
I guess I might as well have not been there
I guess I just might as well have not been there

And you went and you called it love
I don’t know what the hell it was
I guess I might as well have been thin air
I guess I just might as well have been thin air

There I was waiting as I waited before
Listening for anything outside your door
I guess you just had better things to do
I hope you had better things to do
