i recognise you

sometimes you look at your life

and find yourself surprised

what happened to your ideals and intentions

you kept inside?

​

and what if your ideal life 

is built on compromise?

sometimes i look in the mirror

and see defeat

in my eyes

 

and when you look around you

you realise there's so little you can do

(who told you? who told you?)

​

i'd like to achieve something

someday

tomorrow

i'll try

​

but i recognise you

seen you before 

it's apathy

​

She says

'What am i doing here?'

Well that's a good question

​

i recognise you

seen you before 

you're the thinker

between my thoughts

​

i recognise you

seen you before 

you've the answer

when i'm unsure

​

tell me what you're thinking

actually don't bother

you share your thoughts with us

then laugh to one another

​

but 

i recognise you

seen you before 

you're the thinker

between my thoughts

​

i recognise you

seen you before 

you've the answer

when i'm unsure

​

i recognise you
