LOOK AT YOU

Well look at you standing there sassy and free
Looking 'round like you don't notice me
Look at you laugh like you don't have a care
Brand new heart, brand new hair

Look at you smile like you're oh, so sincere
It's paying off - all your time with a mirror
Well look at those eyes trying to look right through me
Makes me glad to be free

Sometimes it hurts
We're left black and blue
Sometimes we beat ourselves up
Like me losing you

But time ticks away
And we pay our dues
And sometimes we find out later
We win when we lose

Look at you standing there teasing the boys
The one beside you is your latest toy
Look at you send him to get you a drink
He'll be gone if he blinks

Look at you giving your girlfriends a wave
You think you got a posse, you don't know what they say
Look at those eyes trying to look right through me
Cold and dark as can be

Now I'm with her
And she's here with me
And she's taught me love is better
Without misery

She's not your type
She doesn't like lies
No, she's not your type
And now I know, no, no neither am I

Well look at you standing there sassy and free
You look away when you notice it's me
Look at you laugh like you don't have a care
Brand new heart, brand new hair

Look at you smile like you're oh, so sincere
I used to watch you practice in front of the mirror
Well look at those eyes trying to look right through me
Makes me glad to be free
