about

This is a demo of a previously unreleased song recorded at rehearsal at Fist2Face. We never fleshed this out into a full song, because it was written just before Parker left the band.

lyrics

Insecure at the best of times
Made to cast myself aside
Fit within the dotted lines
Grown up in someone else's sight
And I try hard not to compromise
But the fear keeps me awake at night
Will you let this stand or will you ask me to go on home?

Time and time again you watch me walk away
Do you ever wonder why?
And every time I hear you say it's me that needs to change
I won't let you see me die inside
Because we don't see eye to eye

Overrun and overlooked and tired of feeling second hand
All I ask is just for once to let me roam and see what I can see
But is that too much to ask of you
Wrong to want to be more
Cos I'm tired of saying I'm fine but in my head I'm a mess

Time and time again you watch me walk away
Do you ever wonder why?
And every time I hear you say it's me that needs to change
I won't let you see me die inside
Because we don't see eye to eye
