Watching My Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Watching my back for a shadow each day
Wondering for months why the leaves all turn grey
This is the way that I don't want to be
And you know I'm not happy, you never see
Watching my back for the rain just to fall
And wondering for months why you never call
The winter's so cold when I'm on my own
You taught me to feel and the way that I know
I know everything’s only temporary
But it gets hard with the pain that I carry
And it is all the little things
That you do for me that keeps me from going insane
And I don't know the right words I should say
I just hope to live to see another day
And I can't stand these nights without you by my side
I just hope that all of this will turn out fine
Watching my back for a shadow each day
Wondering for months why the leaves all turn grey
This is the way that I don't want to be
And you know I'm not happy, you never see
Watching my back for the rain just to fall
And wondering for months why you never call
The winter's so cold when I'm on my own
You taught me to feel and the way that I know
You've left something behind that I can’t find
The silence in the rain that I can’t hear
Wake me up, I'm stuck inside this dream
Burning like the sky in July and the fall
Cut my heart and left me hollow
I know you won’t be there in the morning
Life's so empty, without you I'm boring
All the ways you make me feel
But it's not real, no, it’s not real
I guess I'm alone forever
I guess I'm alone
Watching my back for a shadow each day
Wondering for months why the leaves all turn grey
This is the way that I don't want to be
And you know I'm not happy, you never see
Watching my back for the rain just to fall
And wondering for months why you never call
The winter's so cold when I'm on my own
You taught me to feel and the way that I know
Countless days of hoping you stay but
Now I know this was all a dream
Too many nights I've spent alone
Wishing just that you would come back home
