You can pretend that I'm not even here If it will keep your conscience clear I've heard this story before This is where you walk out the front door This is starting to read Like a black and white rerun on TV You've set your friends on fire And let accomplishments slip under the wire
Just open your eyes and see That no one's even listening You traded up your dreams For a life of lies and wicked things Ooh-whoah Change is coming Ooh-whoah We'll rewrite the ending I won't throw it away That's the difference between you and me
This is where I let you get to me Yeah, this is where I let you crawl under my skin While I'm fighting the battles that you could never win And as the bridges burn I will hold my breath and take my turn I'm not running away I'm not running away I'm not running away from yesterday
Just open your eyes and see That no one's even listening You traded up your dreams For a life of lies and wicked things Ooh-whoah Change is coming Ooh-whoah We'll rewrite the ending I won't throw it away That's the difference between you and me
