Here is where
I want to be
Further from you
And closer to me
Easy enough to
Just roll along
Never to realize
What’s going wrong
I’ve seen
This all before
It happened to me this time
But it won’t anymore
It’s time for me to break free
From all the rules that bind me
Not let someone else have their
Way with me
Now’s my time
Now I know how
To nurse my real self
Back to heath
I’ve said it once before
But this time it’s for real
Now I’m released I’m
Back to myself
(Chorus)
I knew you
You didn’t understand
The pressure
Of your glance
In my own reflection
I was looking at you
I stared into you
For way too long
So I had to move along
I’m turning this page
You’re out of my life just as well
Never again
Will I get so far from myself
I knew you
Now I see the longview
I know exactly where I stand
It’s clear things didn’t turn out
Just as you had planned
What’s the point of sticking around
If all we do is fight
I thought that it was just a phase
But now I see that you were right
We were too different from the start
To make it as a team
And when you mention all my flaws
You make me want to scream
I guess I should have realized all this
From the very start
But I couldn’t see beyond the blindfold
You put on my heart
Now’s my time
Now I know how
To nurse my real self
Back to heath
I’ve said it once before
But this time it’s for real
Now I’m released I’m
Back to myself
I knew you
You didn’t understand
The pressure
Of your glance
In my own reflection
I was looking at you
I stared into you
For way too long
So I had to move along
I’m turning this page
You’re out of my life just as well
Never again
Will I get so far from myself
I knew you
