When did I lose you? When did we fall through? How come you don't care anymore? When did I get lost? In your afterthoughts How can you see right through me? I've given you everything Won't you just take me as I am? How can you see right through me? I've given you everything Won't you just take me as I am? Take me as I am Calling late at night Trying to clear our skies But, you just won't respond To far away To get in your lane 'Cause you won't let me hold on When did I get lost? In your afterthoughts How can you see right through me? I've given you everything Won't you just take me as I am? How can you see right through me? I've given you everything Won't you just take me as I am? Take me as I am How can you see right through me? I've given you everything Won't you just take me as I am? How can you see right through me? I've given you everything Won't you just take me as I am? Take me as I am
