Lyrics
You breeze in
All "hello," and "How are you,"
And "Where you been?"
Expect me to lie so you can vanish again
You think you've done your duty
Smiled and stared through me
Cause you prefer not to hear a word
Chorus:
So now there's proof that I'm not who you thought I was
Still you can't admit to the mess that I've become
Evidence has always been beyond the apparition
But to know it, you would have to listen
Just listen, just listen
You're so proud
You tell everyone about me as if I'm someone you know
Expect me to close the miles when you can't lift the phone
You think that you can hide from me
And limit liability
Cause you prefer not to have to hurt
Chorus
It's true, I helped you build this pedestal I'm stranded on
And it's true, my calls for help wore the veil of nonchalance
But all that matters now is getting back to solid ground
So help me down or leave me
Don't stand there staring up in disbelief
Chorus
