You Should Have Seen It

I told you as I left you you would hate me someday You refused to believe me and begged me to stay Now that your illusions of my saintliness are dead and gone Now that I have fallen from the pedestal you put me on You're suddenly aware that I have weaknesses like any other man My humanness astounds you as you realize how real I am But now it's lying crooked in your mind Doll, you should have seen it all the time Believe me, it tore at me watching you cry With no way to say that you set me too high I should have found a way to make you see that I wasn't always right Someone should have shown you all the colors between black and white I am not perfection, doll, but neither am I always wrong Now you tell your friends I disappointed you and led you along But you expected more than you could find Doll, you should have seen it all the time A man must be measured by things that he does But you looked for me higher up than I was Now that you can see that both my feet are standing on the ground You're telling everybody that you hate me 'cause I let you down I wish that you could know that I'm not angry I am only sad To see someone so sensitive making herself look so bad But the foolish have no patience with the blind Doll, you should have seen it all the time Doll, you should have seen it all the time
