A year ago today, oh nothing was the same
And I was sure it was too late
Thought I was a goner, dusty and downtrodden
Too forgotten to forsake
Have you ever made a great mistake
Have you ever made a great escape
Oh you turned me all around
'Til I thought that up was down
When you lied so slyly to my face
I'm not your baby, you did forsake me
And made me crazy for seven years
With all your lyin', did too much cryin'
Looks like these eyes are all out of tears
The dalliances build up, 'til they leave you dumbstruck
And suddenly you're deaf and blind
You learn to love your jailer, learn to be failure
In the prison of your mind
'Til you're walkin' seven steps behind
'Til there's something missing in your eyes
Then you turn it all around
And you see that up is down
And it's only in the nick of time
I'm not your baby, you did forsake me
And made me crazy for seven years
With all your lyin', did too much cryin'
Looks like these eyes are all out of tears
One for my dignity
Two for my sanity
Three for autonomy
Four for my time
Five for my arrogance
Six for my laziness
Wait, I'm accountable
Seven for my crimes
And when I said, "it's you not me
It's me not you," I meant, you see
I'm no one's baby, and no one made me
But I went crazy for seven years
With all my lyin', did too much cryin'
Looks like these eyes are all out of tears
Looks like these eyes are all out of tears
Looks like these eyes are all out of tears
