Better Shot Of You (v. 2)


I'll be watching over there
In my failure to approach
Was I always running scared?
As you finally let it go
I could never make much sense
Of the things they'd always say
My obsession still prevails
You're the one who got away

Take a look at what we're not
I've been stunted on the spot
In my mind's eye, misconstrued
With a better shot of you

I'll be hiding as I stare
Kept unsure in my denial
Always built so unaware
My existence out of style
No one ever gets the point
From the thoughts we can't relate
Our confessions to recite
Neither one of us would change

Take a look at what we're not
I've been stunted on the spot
In my mind's eye, misconstrued
With a better shot of you

I can see it all so clearly
Every moment that you cared
Giving way to paranoia
We were always unprepared
Never facing this decision
Though it fell apart in time
Letting go of what I lived for
Each defection unrefined

Stumbling through the ages
Every memory lost in time
