Lyrics
I look and I can't see myself; because I gave to much to you; so I know I need to get way.
When we started, my life was full of amazing things;
eyes wide open, excited for what the world could happy;
I was happy, wasn't a thing that could bring me down;
but I knew I had to leave if my smile ever turned around;
I hoped that it would never get this way;
my smiles become a frown and I just don't know how to change it;
It's clearer to me more and more each day; I'm
looking for a way out but I just can't seem to find it;
My visions burred I need to find some light;
somebody shine some on on me;
I look and I can't see myself;
because I gave too much away, to you;
there's nothing left for me to say so;
I know I've got to get way.
Now I'm older and the luster is wearing off; I've become harder in the places I once was soft; it's getting colder and my jacket is wearing thin; you've haven't noticed that I'm not feeling right within.
I hoped that it would never get this way;
my smiles become a frown and I just don't know how to change it;
It's clearer to me more and more each day; I'm
looking for a way out but I just can't seem to find it;
My visions burred I need to find some light;
somebody shine some on on me;
I look and I can't see myself;
because I gave too much away, to you;
there's nothing left for me to say so;
I know I've got to get way.
