I never meant to defend my arrogance
You should have known it was only innocence
You're holding tight to a dry and calloused hand
All you needed was a kind and simple man
Left alone on the road to San Ramon
Insecure when my ego took control
All I wanted failed to find you
What you wanted left for dead
Far from heaven where I started
Carried this for far too long
And now I see my ego take control
So mundane
All this is vanity
You should have known it was only innocence
You're holding tight to a dry and calloused hand
All you needed was a kind and simple man
Left alone on the road to San Ramon
Insecure when my ego took control
All I wanted failed to find you
What you wanted left for dead
Far from heaven where I started
Carried this for far too long
And now I see my ego take control
So mundane
All this is vanity
