The Record Life - Not The Same |
|
I was standing at the edge of my mind, |
|
trying hard to let some sunlight in. |
|
I tied a kite to the idea of leaving life |
|
and stumbled out to where my brain had never been. |
|
Then I saw her turn around, |
|
and the words fell from my mouth. |
|
You're not the same, |
|
you cut your hair and you changed your name and now |
|
I'm seeing straight on through you. |
|
I'm afraid that you |
|
became everything I hate and now I know I never knew you. |
|
I never knew you. |
|
Blind and breathing hard from trying to climb up to the sky |
|
that lies outside your skin. |
|
But step inside my mind, |
|
I bet my soul you'll find |
|
that you're not the same as you have ever been. |
|
You don't love the live you live, |
|
you've got nothing left to give. |
|
You're not the same, |
|
you cut your hair and you changed your name and now |
|
I'm seeing straight on through you. |
|
I'm afraid that you became everything |
|
I hate and now I know I never knew you. |
|
And you don't know yourself. |
|
You sure know how to sell yourself as someone else. |
|
You're on your own now. |
|
You're not the same, |
|
you're not the face in my picture frame |
|
and now I'm seeing straight on through you. |
|
I'm afraid that you became everything I hate |
|
and now I know I never knew you. |
|
You're not the same, |
|
you cut your hair and you changed your name |
|
and now I'm seeing straight on through you. |
|
I'm afraid that you became everything I hate |
|
and now I know I never knew you. |
|
I never knew you. |
