lyrics

Didn’t want to follow
Couldn’t learn how to lead
Won’t you let me borrow
Some time to let me breathe
All that ringing disdain
Coming around the block
People act like
They don’t know your name
That’s what they got

People wearing faces
Tearing them off at home
Taking up spaces
With skin and bone
And I could tell the difference
Between real and fake
But I couldn’t tell the distance
And the price you have to pay

Hiding in the shadows
Hiding in the stairs
Would it make a difference
If anybody could cared
And I didn’t know what happened
You were standing there
And I didn’t know what happened
But I knew you were scared

Didn’t want to follow
Couldn’t learn how to lead
Won’t you let me borrow
Some time to let me breathe
