If I was suppose to change When was I to be told? How could I possibly know that everything I knew was wrong? And when I reach the end, am I the only one outside? Did I lose my only chance? Never knowing that I had one I will work my out from the inside And I could see you chasing after me and barely behind But I was never any good at facing anything And I could see you're almost there from the corner of my eye But I could never face you, no I could never There are too many rules Too many paths to follow I started down the wrong one And now it is too late to return Those I have met along the way Have greeted me with kindness Who is to say they are not enough? I am not enough I'll work my way out from the inside And I could see you chasing after me and barely behind But I was never any good at facing anything And I could see you're almost there from the corner of my eye But I could never face you, no I could never We started off so full of wonder But we never really got there To the point of perfect clarity We shrugged it off as something useless Never gaining any ground Barley holding on to what we have left Was I born a step behind you? Losing ground before I could even move? Was I only made to move backwards? Away from you Avert your eyes child We never meant for you to see this
