If I was supposed 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'll work my way out from the inside
I'll work my way out from the inside
And I can see you chasing after me and barely behind.
But I was never any good at facing anything.
And I can 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's too late to return
But those I have met along the way
Have greeted me with kindness
Who is to say they're not enough?
I am not enough
I'll work my out from the inside
I'll work my out from the inside
And I can see you chasing after me and barely behind.
But I was never any good at facing anything.
And I can 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, away from you
I'll work my out from the inside
I'll work my out from the inside
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
Avert your eyes child, avert your eyes
We never meant for you to see
We never meant for you to see this
Avert your eyes child, avert your eyes
We never meant for you to see
We never meant for you to see!
Avert your eyes child, avert your eyes
We never meant for you to see
We never meant for you to see this!
