Look At Me

You said there was no war we couldn’t fight

But now I’m on the sidelines, no use on the front line

Your body has been bruised and so has mine,

There’s nowhere to run, no place to try and hide

(No place to try and hide)

I’m so afraid to hear, these words that I so fear

You’ve been weathered like a stone, shaped to cut me to the bone

To the bone

Is there a price to pay, to bring back yesterday?

‘Coz you can’t even look at me, or even share the air I’m breathing

Will it ever be the same, now that I’m the only one you blame?

Will you ever look at me; remember how your heart was beating?

Remember how your heart was beating,

Something like the way you’re aching

To get me out the way, like a lion sees its prey

You’re better off not knowing how much I can take.

Before alarms start ringing, and the pieces of my heart stop clinging

To every word you say, every step you start to take

Is another leap from me, I can’t make

Is there a price to pay, to bring back yesterday?

‘Coz you can’t even look at me, or even share the air I’m breathing

Will it ever be the same, now that I’m the only one you blame?

Will you ever look at me; remember how your heart was beating?

And in the quiet, it’s like we’re growing back to be

Two branches of the same old tree

Burnt in the fire, burnt in the fire

Is there a price to pay, to bring back yesterday?

‘Coz you can’t even look at me, or even share the air I’m breathing

Will it ever be the same, now that I’m the only one you blame?

Will you ever look at me; remember how your heart was beating?
