it's the one feeling you chose to forget
it's the compliment you didn't take
the offer you just couldn't make
a burden you would have carried
if you were to be carried in return

and this sadness is not who you are.
you are worthy of great things
and this is real and it's something that is tangible
so treat it like it's fragile, a worthy expensive valuable
because once it's gone you may get it back
but the feeling of renewal will be something it lacks
and it seems as though when we get to the end
it's that fresh feeling we want back again

it's gone with the times
another flip of the page
once at the front just to be replaced
because gossip is wild and flattery isn't free
you gotta create what you love
protect it with your life
and die defending everything you've managed to save up
because if it's never worth your while
then you'll never know what you are worth
and you gotta find your place in this town
before it finds one for you
better find your place in his heart
before he forgets you
because he will forget you
like you were a passing event
'ya you'll do'
for now, and maybe for a little bit longer
a circus train coming through this town
because you attract the big crowds
and you wonder why you hate this place
you cry to your sister on the phone
'oh darling, you can come home, you can always come home'
so don't say you were never at the right place at the right time
because it was the right place when you changed your mind
and it was the right time when you chose to say goodbye
to the ones that you loved
and loved you in return
and how sad their faces were
as you were looking straight ahead.
it was a ghost town made famous by your subtle way with words
and you keep passing through me.
and it seems that you don't even notice that something
may be passing through you...
everything does change, but it's the people who stay the same
if they want to...
we're the only ones with the option, you see we can if we want to,
now that's too much of a power for one man to hold onto
so we place it on the shoulders of the people that we love
'ya, I could change for you, but you'll have to change to'
and theres the fresh start you've been craving for it's there and it's in reach!
but beware of the complexity that follows
when your mind can't keep up with what it wanted and what happened.
then all you'll see is a stranger
in your mirror and in your bed
so crawl back into the nest in your head
and be content with images of illusion....
don't be frightened of what will come next
remember to never be afraid what you will create...
