Do you ever get that feeling that the whole world is changing,
And you’re getting left behind?
Do you ever look at yourself and think, “I could do with being,
Tougher and more unkind.”?
There is something lurking and I know that it scared her
From the moment that we met.
But now my roots have been torn up; I’m hanging in midair,
And I bet that she regrets.
Trying to see a soul that wasn't really there,
Just a little walking rag-doll, all skin, bone and hair.
She’s always been in the corner of my vision,
She’s always been in the shadows around me.
And sacrifice must hurt,
That’s the only way that works.
Now she’s just the scars that can’t be seen.
I’ll never know happiness or joy and innocence,
Quite like those simple days,
When we were children and the whole wide world
Made us all amazed.
I don’t want to love her; It’d be easier to hate,
And let the feelings drown.
And I don’t want to need at all; Want to rely on myself,
‘Cause friends just let you down.
I've prepared to change it all, but I have made my choice.
And I am sure time will erase the memory of her voice.
She’s always been in the corner of my vision,
[She’s always been in the center of my heart.]
She’s always been in the shadows around me.
And sacrifice must hurt,
[She’s always been the one I love.]
That’s the only way that works.
Now she’s just the scars that can’t be seen.
