Bryan Fenkart Middle Man lyrics

Now Iʼd like to tell a story of how things got to be the way they are,
But my recollection of the events is not quite up to par,
I donʼt know a lot, but this is what Iʼve learned so far,
You can look both ways and still get hit by the car.

And now somehow Iʼm the bad guy…

Howʼs this always happen? You never really know when it begins,
Itʼs like going to the racetrack: even when you win you never win,
ʻCause then, even when you take something home, you just bet it all again,
As you walk that blurry line between good deeds and sin,

And now somehow Iʼm the bad guy,
Even though I never took a side, never told the truth, never lied,
Iʼll stand beside you best I can,
But I am the middle man.

Every story needs a villain,
At least thatʼs what they say,

But Iʼd rather be the guy
Who flies in to save the day.

Gettin pushed from the right and shoved from the left makes it hard to stand my ground,
Itʼs like rooting for opposing teams, surrounded by the hometown crowd,
I know you said weʼre fine now, but your actions just spoke way too loud,
Yeah, I know I didnʼt lift you up, but I sure as hell never let you down.

And now somehow Iʼm the bad guy,
Even though I never took a side, never told the truth, never lied,
Iʼll stand beside you best I can,

And now somehow Iʼm the the bad guy,
Even though I never took a side, never told the truth, never lied,
And now Iʼm caught in a crossfire,
Rest in peace, brother, son, and middle man.
