Turn around

You can't face up to me

I stand my ground

I'm just what I seem to be

Why in the world

Would you give me a second look

Except I'm up here

And you're down there

But you'll never know what it took

You don't care what it took



The look in your eyes

As I turned on the light

The look in your eyes

A look of surprise



Sneakin' around

In this one trick town

And you can't face up to me

I know your crowd

And they're not that proud

At least not from what I've seen

Flies in the ink leave

Footprints across the sea

Trace them back to where it all gets had

You find the cuts never run too deep

The cuts never run too deep



How many times have I tried

Just to get away from you

And you reel me back

How many times have I lied

That there's nothing that I can do

No, no



And how many times have I tried

Just to get away from you

And you reel me back

How many times have I lied

That there's nothing that I can do



I stand my ground

I'm just what I seem to be

You'd run me down

For so long, for so long

The weight that I carry

Knowing what they've done to us

How many names does it take to lay blame

On the people you always should trust

The people you always should trust



The look in your eyes

As I turned on the light

The look in your eyes

The look of surprise



How many times have I tried

Just to get away from you

And you reel me back

How many times have I lied

That there's nothing that I can do

No, no



And how many times have I tried

Just to get away from you

And you reel me back

How many times have I
