You took her down to the basement
Seventeen, but I was your friend
You think I never ever knew
I knew what happened

Ten years go by but I'm still a child
You can not look me in the eye
When you cross my path from time to time
My eyes are open

So pathetic now
What you do with your life
I'd let you drown in a minute
Serves you right

You turned out just like I hoped you would
Still time it jokes in every passing word
And you live in the same stupid neighborhood
We grew up in

When I see you now I think of that night
Nothing changed in my whole life
I'd love to watch your inside fight its way out

So pathetic now
You better not ask for help
I'd let you drown in a minute
Serves you right
Serves you right

Fuck this game
I have had enough
You talk so cool
Oh you talk so tough

Nothing's done until you've had too much
So out of touch

So pathetic now
The things you do with your life
I'd let you drown in a minute
I'd let you drown in a minute
Serves you right
Serves you right

    actually, that second explanation seems quite likely, too, never thought about that. but the lyrics are so harsh that i stick to my interpretation... after all, would you really let somebody "drown in a minute" for fooling around with your girlfriend?
