There it is I can see your face
This city I will replace
Never hide from it and magnify it, the taste
Looking into the mirror now
Baby you don’t know how hard I’ve been trying
But you see I am laughing now
Something inside I found
No longer underground
Tell myself: Don’t hide, don’t cry
Locking eyes with my reflection now
Something clear beneath my brow
Tells me it’s time, head up high, I am ready now
And you never saw me down
You never heard a sound
Cuz you turned around before I cried
Chorus:
Cuz you never saw me, you never looked back
You just turned and walked away
Cuz you never saw me, you never looked back
You just turned and walked away
Never turn it on, don’t pick up the phone
Don’t come back to me, you will never see
Cuz you never saw me you never looked back
You just turned and walked away
Lines across my heart I cannot erase
Won’t forget surviving is hard to fake
If you think you’re clever don’t lie to yourself
When you find me all better and dancing forever
Streams of light come into the dark night
Sweaty bodies under the strobe light
Keep on changing my farenheit, here till the daylight
Ready for something new
Louder till I’m all alone again, till my mind is blown again
Pushing on till I’m only laughing in my defense
Gonna be so happy when I face you again
Cuz you turned around before I cried
CHORUS
There’s a shadow on the wall
You and me
You turned and walked away
