Take A Look

Look at yourself And look at me Look how I'm trying to make myself As free as can be

Look at yourself Now look at me Look how you made promises You just couldn't keep

Now look at yourself And look at me Look how what you did Has kept me pinned down

Selfish, selfish, selfish desires Only care about your own little fires But no, you cared about me too Or so you said... Before you left me alone

I loved you, you know that I couldn't imagine a life without you And now I'm trapped in the life I once lived And it's all because of you

You'll tell me you never really cared That you never gave a damn But I'll know it's a lie How hard will you laugh After I've died
