Watching myself go by
In the distance I look pretty fly
Close up I look distanced
Close up I look shy
I got a thousand reasons why
I could use a couple of hours of time
To question my existence
To interview my mind
If I could move on
And love you in the dark
So I could be done
But that's the hardest part
'Cause you ain't changing
Should have known that from the start
But that's the hardest part
Hopefully you'll soon know
All that glitters isn't always gold
It's shiny and persistent
Had you been as wise as old
This night makes me think of you
All the things that you have put me through
Thanks for your assistance
It turned me a shade of blue
If I could move on
And love you in the dark
So I could be done
But that's the hardest part
'Cause you ain't changing
Should have known that from the start
But that's the hardest part
Moment's choking me
I've got my head up I can't breathe
You want more love, I'll give it free
If you can run then you will see
This sketchy place was sketched by me
The ink's not dry, but time dries free
My open hand is scared and weak
So I might need some time to speak
And I might ask
If I could move on
And love you in the dark
So I could be done
But that's the hardest part
'Cause you ain't changing
Should have known that from the start
But that's the hardest part
