Adjusted - Never Knew lyrics

rate me

You never knew just what to do; you never knew just what to say<br />

You just turn around and run whenever problems get in your way.<br />

I know you don't care for warnings but I would never tell you lies<br />

Still I know it's not my job to tell you how you should live your life<br />

<br />

You had a face that used to light up every single time we met<br />

But what I see today is nothing like what I've seen before<br />

The eyes, that once where bright like the clearest sky, <br />

Have now lost their glow<br />

And the dreams you held on to where suddenly kicked out the door<br />

<br />

All the setbacks let you down - your addiction made you worse<br />

Your abuse is killing me as much as it is killing you<br />

I bet it's tough to be like you, to walk alone without a clue<br />

Of what to say or how to act when all you've got is your confusion<br />

<br />

What's the prize to pay to bring you<br />

Back to what you were?<br />

Time after time you lie to yourself.<br />

You say you can control what you can't control<br />

I'm here now but soon I won't be there.<br />

<br />

Though you're sinking further down I'm not ready to let go<br />

But as the drugs are setting in I know there's no time left to argue<br />

It's so hard to sit by and watch as you waste your life away<br />

It might thrill you for some time but you'll<br />

See that all it brings is nothing<br />

<br />

What's the prize to... <br />

<br />

Standing on the outside looking in on the life that you once had<br />

I can't stand to watch, can't bear to watch the truth, <br />

It's all over now<br />

<br />

You never knew just what to do; you never knew just what to say<br />

You just turn around and run whenever problems get in your way.<br />

A shadow of what you once were; a hollow image of yourself<br />

Would you trade back if you could<br />

Or were you never really there at all?
