Can't Face Up
Turn around
You can't face up to me
I stand my ground
I'm just what I seem to be
Why, in the world
Would you give me a second look?
'Cause I'm up here,
And you're down there
But heaven know what it took
You don't care what it took
The look in your eyes
As I turned on the light
Look in your eyes,
A look of surprise
Sneaking around
In this one trip town
And you can't face up to me
I know you're proud
And I'm not that proud
At least not from what I see
Flies, and big leaf
Footprints across the sea
Trace them back
To where it all gets had
You find the guts never run to deep
Guts never run to deep
How many times have I tried
Just to get away from you and you reel me back
How many times have I lied
That was nothing that I can do
No no, and how many times have I tried
Just to get away from you and you reel me back
How many times have I lied
That was nothing that I can do.
I stand my ground
I'm just what I seem to be
You stump me down
So long, for so long
The weight that I carry
Knowing what they've done to us
How many names does it take to lay blame
On the people you always should trust
The people you always should trust
The look in your eyes
As I turned on the light
Look in your eyes
The look of surprise
How many times have I tried
Just to get away from you and you reel me back
How many times have I lied
That was nothing that I can do
No no, and how many times have I tried
Just to get away from you and you reel me back
How many times have I lied
That was nothing that I can do
'Cause I can't face up to you
You can't face up to me
I stand my ground
I'm just what I seem to be
Why, in the world
Would you give me a second look?
'Cause I'm up here,
And you're down there
But heaven know what it took
You don't care what it took
The look in your eyes
As I turned on the light
Look in your eyes,
A look of surprise
Sneaking around
In this one trip town
And you can't face up to me
I know you're proud
And I'm not that proud
At least not from what I see
Flies, and big leaf
Footprints across the sea
Trace them back
To where it all gets had
You find the guts never run to deep
Guts never run to deep
How many times have I tried
Just to get away from you and you reel me back
How many times have I lied
That was nothing that I can do
No no, and how many times have I tried
Just to get away from you and you reel me back
How many times have I lied
That was nothing that I can do.
I stand my ground
I'm just what I seem to be
You stump me down
So long, for so long
The weight that I carry
Knowing what they've done to us
How many names does it take to lay blame
On the people you always should trust
The people you always should trust
The look in your eyes
As I turned on the light
Look in your eyes
The look of surprise
How many times have I tried
Just to get away from you and you reel me back
How many times have I lied
That was nothing that I can do
No no, and how many times have I tried
Just to get away from you and you reel me back
How many times have I lied
That was nothing that I can do
'Cause I can't face up to you
