I used to ride on your coattails

Just a shadow in your life

I used to ride on your coattails, this time, each time

Just a slave in your details

I'm the shadow in your life

Just a slave in your details, this time, this time

Validation's been withdrawn

Validation, stop

If I knew what I would fix it

If I could fix it, I would

If I knew what I would fix it

It didn't matter to you, didn't matter to you

I used to fly in your contrails

In the shadows I would hide

Just a glitch in the details, I tried, I tried

Now I stand on your pretense

Still reaching for the light

I play the game as an equal this time, this time

Validation's been withdrawn

Validation's out of control

Validation, stop

If I knew what I would fix it

If I could fix it, I would

If I knew what I would fix it

It didn't matter to you, didn't matter to you

If I knew what I would fix it

If I could fix it, I would

If I knew what I would fix it

It didn't matter to you, didn't matter to you

Validation's been withdrawn

Validation's out of control

Validation, stop

If I knew what I would fix it

If I could fix it, I would

If I knew what I would fix it

It didn't matter to you, didn't matter to you

If I knew what I would fix it

If I could fix it, I would

If I knew what I would fix it

It didn't matter to you, didn't matter to you
