You could barely walk
But I taught you to run
No matter how bad it got
I made life fun
And now I am standing on top of the world
Watching you burn
♪
We came, we saw, we kicked some ass
We took the world by storm so fast
I never thought that it would end that way
Time and time I had your back
While you were planning your surprise attack
The twisting of your knife keeps me awake
Good thing I like to stay up late
You could barely walk
But I taught you to run (taught you to run)
No matter how bad it got
I made life fun (I made life fun)
I kicked and screamed to save the team
But you took a lighter and gasoline
And you burned it down (burned it down)
And now I'm standing on top of the world
Watching you burn out
♪
I really don't have sympathy
Your downward spiral's fun to see
Pretending that you're someone that you're not
So bang your head against the wall
I still won't answer when you call
Go hit up all the followers you bought
'Cause that's all you've got
You could barely walk
But I taught you to run (taught you to run)
No matter how bad it got
I made life fun (he made life fun)
I kicked and screamed to save the team
But you took a lighter and gasoline
And you burned it down (burned it down)
And now I'm standing on top of the world
Watching you burn out

How's it feel to see me up here living out your dream?
While everyone else realizes you're nothing like you seem
I wish I had the money back I spent on you in beers
You could barely walk
But I taught you to run
No matter how bad it got
I made life fun
You could barely walk
But I taught you to run (he taught you to run)
No matter how bad it got
I made life fun (he made life fun)
