Lyrics

Out of sight and out of mind
I thought I knew you when
If I go back in time
I'd see you clearly then
I never thought
To analyze
I wasn’t in your way
But when you got
Your chance to rise
You saw a threat
You wouldn’t let
A loose end go to fray

Was it just too much to pull that punch
When you saw no fight remained?
Were you just so tough that you must draw blood
When there’s nothing left to gain?
So I keep my peace and smile
‘Cause I know that I’ll never rise again
Hit my pose and hope I chose
A lesser dose of pain
And it’s too much to sustain

Circumstances as they are
I couldn’t leave the game
Can only run so far
You can’t escape the shame
I stood aside
I stayed my hand
I didn’t want the fight
I had my pride
You had your plan
And right in front
Of everyone
You got me in your sights

Was it just too much to pull that punch
When you saw no fight remained?
Were you just so tough that you must draw blood
When there’s nothing left to gain?
So I keep my place and hide
‘Cause I know that I’ll never smile again
So exposed, everybody knows
My life’s gone down the drain
And it’s too much to sustain

It was too much
He won't get up again
Oh but what if he does
What happens then?
Oh what happens then?

You think you’re just
Do what you must
You protest too much
You think you’re flush
'Cause you got the touch
You forget too much

You think I’m crushed
Underneath the bus
You’ll regret too much
I know it sucks
But I gotta make some cuts
Oh, was that too much?
