Story behind the song
I've had the hook lyric around for about 8 years; it just took a few extra ego bruises to really write the song that told this story properly. Make sure you sing with the chorus at the top of your lungs - it's a great catharsis!
Lyrics
Your sugar-coated put-downs Backhanded compliments I can see you thinking How I'd hang around content No need apologizing Your colors show right through It's not about connecting It's what I can do for you While I waited quietly for my turn to sing You thought I was the wind beneath your wings I'm not the wind beneath your wings I'm not the wind beneath your wings I'm sorry but the truth is gonna sting I'm not the wind beneath your wings Surround yourself with robots Just wired to say yes They're strung out on your headlines As you fall for your own press I see you love the limelight Almost more than life itself The hook is right behind you To make room for someone else I shake my head and wonder how you got to be the King And treat me like the wind beneath your wings I'm not the wind beneath your wings I'm not the wind beneath your wings I'm sorry but the truth is gonna sting I'm not the wind beneath your wings Yeah - Publicly you thank me While you're basking in the sun Privately I realize I could be anyone So let's take what I see coming Write it down in one quick blurb You'll get what you can from me And just kick me to the curb I have got ambitions for so many other things Than just to be the wind beneath your wings I'm not the wind beneath your wings I'm not the wind beneath your wings I'm sorry but the truth is gonna sting I'm not the wind beneath your wings
