Passing Me By

Well I walk out of this house of lies
Step out of my old disguise I
Got nothing left to hide so they tell me
And I'm talking to myself again
And they got me on the shelf again but
If it mean jumping down I'd follow you

Try to think of something, draw a blank
When I see your face and you're so frank I
Don't even try just keep my mouth shut, but
That's never really bothered me
You know silence always came naturally but
Well they say there ain't nothing that's free in this world
So if I stare into the fray
And if I have nothing to say I'm
Just trying to find the price I'll pay in the long run

I try to take it all in stride
But sometimes I feel
You're passing me by
I try to take it all in stride
But sometimes I feel
You're passing me by

So if the tide comes in and you're not there
Well I try my best not to care
Just knowing that you're somewhere without me
And if the sun eclipses my moon
And the darkness comes on much too soon I
Just wish you well, it was nice to know you, you know
That's the thing I think we never did see
All caught up in sentimentality
This was just temporary, like all things
Well if the sun sinks into the sea
And I see you and you see me, well
Would we be also just two strangers?
Well I walk out of this house of lies
Step out of my old disguise I
Got nothing left to hide so they tell me

I try to take it all in stride
But sometimes I feel
You're passing me by
I try to take it all in stride
But sometimes I feel
You're passing me by
