Lyrics

You’re lulled into your own complacency, the midwest sky as your shield.

The false security just melts away and the emptiness revealed

The smiling pictures make you ask yourself, why are my dreams so high upon that shelf?


Can you look her in the eye, and can you say that you really tried?

You’re living another life, where you’ve left her behind.

Confidence found in a makeup case won’t even last throughout the day.

Khaki armour won’t disguise the pain. You’re screaming with nothing to say.


Can you look her in the eye, and can you say that you really tried?

You’re living another life, where you’ve left her behind.


I see it written on your face: this is not who I am.

So when you meet yourself tomorrow-

Will you let your life begin?


Can you look her in the eye, and can you say that you really tried

To go live the other life and leave her behind?
