My life only sits in the background for you I'm just evidence of your mistake I don't want to get in the way for you Here I'm in the way, you're moving on I just want to make you stop I want you to see today That I am more than some memento From harder times I seem only to humiliate you All I ever tried was to make you proud Will you let me sit quietly here with you And won't you please act like you give a damn I just want to make you stop
I want you to see today That I am more than some memento From harder times I don't need to be the prize I don't need to be your one But I refuse to be a keepsake From your former life Here, here I am, but you're not in, It's always something You've stepped away, you've stepped away No you're not in, It's always something You were on a search For self-improvement But I just never thought I'd be so outside
