I Know So Little

I was concerned and I knew I stood firmSo much that I learned, you were greenNeeded self esteem but I was too firmThen ego crept right up on meAnd misdirected meFrom the real wealth I wanted to possessNow I'm walking 2 steps backA little less attackPlease let me confessAll I know is I know so littleAnd that I know I know so wellBut I think if I could walk that middleI'd wipe the slateAnd try to start all over againInfatuation, renunciation, just intoxicationAusterity without humility, one source of ruinationAnd yes, there grew sincerity but what I didn't seeWas something growing right by it's sideStanding with a righteous twistGetting people pissedI was riddled with prideMaybe I was wrongMaybe I came on too strongAnd I know how I treated youBut I couldn't see, so forgive meFor thinking I was better than youI need a mirror to see what you can seeWe better get mirrors or we'll never know our real identityAnd it hurts so much to look right at yourselfYeah, it hurts the most, please let me confess
