Never believe I’d want all of these things
I want more than anything now
To be like a tree and grow taller to see
Where you’re going and where you think that you can hide from me
I know where you’ve been
Know what you’ve done
Bet that you thought that you’d never get caught
But I’ll take you for everything you’ve got
Everybody sees you now
Got you all figured out
There’s no coming back from this
Even if you think there is
Everybody sees you now
Get the hell out of town
There’s no coming back from this
Find a new place to live
You were so very young
How’d you carry this for so long I could have picked you up
I’d give anything now to know how
I could have helped
Rid my family of disease
How good it felt
To be anywhere else
I could have helped
Rid my family of disease
But god it felt so good to feel nothing at all
Everybody sees you now
Got you all figured out
There’s no coming back from this
Even if you think there is
Everybody sees you now
Get the hell out of town
There’s no coming back from this
Find a new place to live
I hope that every time you
Look in the mirror
You have to see what you’ve done
And all the family that you lost
