All that You Never See

I'm not seeing the point anymore

I let you go

You call my name and question my next move

but I'm turning away and heading home

It's almost as if all the color is running out

of the painting of my life

and there's nothing left to do

How can I stop it?

I tell you the truth

and you call me guilty

Maybe I am

The gossip floats past me too

I probably encouraged it

All I want is for you to show your hand

I can't wait in the dark while you create your strategy

Do you want her?

Don't you?

I just feel like the coward in us

shows far more quickly than it should

And though you're not the only cowardly lion in this room

You're the only one the spotlight turns too

I'm walking off this stage

The curtain won't come down though

because this play is never done

You'll never know I'm gone

because I was always just a bit part in your play

A secondary character that makes their exit

at the end of the second act

and never looks back

You won't miss my voice in a week or two

there's always some new distraction

far, far prettier than me

Her long blond hair will be found on your coat

and you'll write your songs about her

And I'll try not to feel guilty

because you always make me feel like I'm in the wrong

but all I ever wanted was to keep your heart from breaking

because mine's broken enough for two

But you never saw me like I saw you
