I'm the one your supposed to
supposed to jump up for
out of bed
the one you get all excited for...

I'm the one that you egnore

I'm the one who's
supposed to be on your mind
but now you have to rewind
the one you hear
through the crowd
when everyone else is loud...


I'm the one
I thought had a place
but there's no room for me
there's too much at stake
your hearts too full of you
there's too much on it's plate

But I'm the one
the one
I thought...

but I'm just another mistake

Through your eyes
and out the back of your head
there's a note on the wall
did you read what it said

Let me be the one
the one you call your own
the one who's a part of you
wherever we call home
the one beside you
everywhere you go
your family never questions
because we
are who they know

I'm the one
the one who's alone
who has to remember now
that love was never shown
I was never good enough
to shadow you through a door
you'll never need to explain ...

I was never with you before

No worries on your side
I'll just pick up the peaces
and hope I can fly

delusions of masterpiece
like building a home
amongst the deceased
I'm looking back
from where I now sit
pondering each puzzle peace
which really don't fit
