Watching You

Couple stanzas stolen from One Republic's "Stop and Stare"

Stop and stare

I think I'm moving , but I go nowhere

Yeah I know that everyone gets scared 

I've become what I can't be

Just watching you become what you are

While I stand, unchanged, this s**t is hard

Trying to step forward

It's so damn hard with my head turned back

My mind is playing tricks on me

And my life is out of whack 

I tried to apologize. but I guess it was too late

You didn't want to love someone who was so easy to hate

I'm watching you

Even though you left me behind

I want to keep up

But you throw me out every time

Tell me you need something to be proud of yourself for

I get what that's about, but I just can't ignore

When I decide to look back

And I see you waiting for me

I want that again

But you've changed your story

I'm staring down myself, counting up the years

Steady hands just take the wheel

Every glance is killing me

Time to make one last appeal

For the life I lead

What story is that anyway? What do you want to be?

Because I don't know why you can't be it with me

I look behind me and I see you

But right now you aren't with me

But I look forward and I see you

Tell me you see what I see.
