You look past me like I ain’t here and maybe I ain’t.

 

Sometimes I wonder if there’s anything I could do to make you understand. You wouldn’t like it if I tried. It feels like you're turning dials on a radio that can't get my station.

 

I used to look in your eyes. I know you’re in there. But you never saw me. That wore me out.

 

I tried smilin’ a few times, but you always thought I wanted somethin’ and I guess you were right.

 

I didn’t ask them to blow off my legs over in Iraq. I was a strong kid from Kettle Falls. Out to save the world. Felt indestructible. That was a long time ago.

 

I knew if I fell down you’d help me up. Guess I was wrong.
