[Verse 1] I know it was this that had to give And I was having such a good time You know me so well and you tell me all the time Then I was having such a good time
[Pre-Chorus] And all my friends like me and I shine brightly And I take it lightly, and shock it off me And I speak quietly, and he can't find me Then I'm out behind me
[Chorus] Watching myself go Watching myself go (Watching myself go) (Watching myself go)
[Verse 2] You know I'm up to scratch and they give me that Didn't mean to mean it, I'm an acrobat A peace machine, such a diplomat They all believe me, I'm such an act And I've called you on me, and I'm a fool for that Now it's all over and I'm so glad I'm a silver child, the first class prize I know you're blind, but I'm in disguise I'm a cut of glass you look inside Cut up the past and you're still mine Don't want it back, leave me tired I'm out behind me
