Backwards

Cut me off and look away when I speak

Cause you know better, point to where I should be

And when I come up short, lie to me

Ask your questions, criticize passively

Banging on the wall

Crying in the stall

Hoping I can meet

The standards set for me

I was in the backseat looking out

Backwards, Backwards

Echoes of my past self reaching out

Backwards, Backwards

Maybe I'll just go on being

Backwards, Backwards

What you claim is lost is right in front of you

Not a picture on your wall, I'm in present view

I finally live a life that doesn't hide the truth

And now I'm feeling full

Banging on the wall

Crying in the stall

Hoping I can meet

The standards set for me

I was in the backseat looking out

Backwards, Backwards

Echoes of my past self reaching out

Backwards, Backwards

Maybe I'll just go on being

Backwards, Backwards
