Turned My Back

(Album: These Old Charms - 2005)

I turned my back on all the things that gave me trouble
Thought that maybe you'd leave too
I placed myself in a self reflecting bubble
To start living the way I wanted to
And when I told you that I loved you well I wasn't being true
And now I start to notice what I am without you

Wore my heart on my shoes
Don't know how I let it weigh me down
Expected more of the blues now that you're in town
And I can feel my fire burning longer, feel my strength getting stronger
All my memories of you and me are distant reality
Yes I can see you wandering on your own
And here I sit and think about you
Writing words that I never thought I'd know
Just to prove that I'm a person too

Never wore the bruises on my face
I never let on that it even took place
Living lies so thin I could hardly breathe the air
But you don't care
Please put your hands in my face again, let me be your believer
I believe you'll change, I believe you'll disarrange
But you don't care
Yes I can see you wondering on your own
And here I sit and think about you
Writing words that I never thought I'd know
Just to prove to you

Yes I can see you wandering on your own
And here I sit and think about you
Writing words that I thought I'd never know
Just to prove that I'm a person too
