lyrics

It’s been a long time coming
We had to learn to say goodbye
So many years spent running
Because you couldn’t face us eye to eye

Your head’s down but it’s obvious that we’re on your side
Your head’s down but it’s obvious that you’re wearing a disguise

It’s been a long time coming
You couldn’t remember how or why
You have forgotten nothing,
Just let excuses pile high

Your head’s down but it’s obvious that we’re on your side
Your head’s down but it’s obvious that you’re wearing a disguise
I’d show you how it’s done if you’d only listen
I’d show you that the waiting is not in vain

One single mistake is that I’d forgotten how to fit in all the words that I want to say
The miracle is, from what I remember, you’re still standing here to walk today

Your head’s down but it’s obvious that we’re on your side
Your head’s down but it’s obvious that you’re wearing a disguise
Your head’s down but it’s obvious that we’re on your side
Your head’s down but it’s obvious that you’re wearing a disguise
I’d show you how it’s done if you’d only listened
I’d show you that the waiting is not in vain

So, you were the next to say it
You wouldn’t make it out anyway
Still you can’t escape the cell
Despair was always stuck in the way anyway
