The Advantage Was Mine
(Dean)
Imagine a door that won't open anymore
try as you might that door is locked tight
and there isn't any key for gaining entry
you're shut out entirely that door was me
and you couldn't cross the line
when the advantage was mine
I hate to admit there were moments when it
clearly gave me pause considering the cause
of all our little fights
growing bigger through the night
only then to shrink to a size we think
each other has defined
but the advantage was mine
what's the sense in trying what's the fuss
when every move we make comes between us?
You said that pride was best bottled up inside
and grew evermore to be proud of your own humility
we spoke in careful sentences while fixing our own fences
and the property we shared fell into disrepair
now boasts a For Sale sign
as the advantage was mine
we signed on the dotted line
but the advantage was mine
