Step Back

Tired of feeling hurt
Face down in the dirt
Forsaken, overtaken, left behind to
Rot into the earth
Tired of wasting time
On other people's lives
When all they do is trample over you
Like they didn't even see you

Not asking for a lot
A little goes a long way
Just ask me, how the day went
Show a little interest
Show me that I'm wrong
Make me feel like I belong
Small gestures, cost nothing, just put your
Self in someone else's head instead

I'm going to take a step back
See if you notice any change
I'm going to take my life back
And if you want to spend some time
You know exactly where to find me

It hasn't always been this way
We used to be much closer
But people change and time moves on and
Now you feel so far away
And I was told that
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
But all I ever see are
Empty spaces where you used to be

And it could be that I just need
To realign reality
Embrace the empty space
Fill the void with liberty
Free to waste my time
On stuff inside my mind
But it's bittersweet, and hard to feel
Complete without you
Driving me insane, but in a good way

I'm going to take a step back
See if you notice any change
I'm going to take my life back
See if you notice any change
I'm going to take a step back
See if you notice any change
I'm going to take my life back
See if you notice any change
