Lyrics
You took me out of context
Stood me in the hall
Moved me to a window
Hung me on a wall
A mirror for your mantle
A trophy for your den
Unwilling to accept that
I wasn't fitting in
(chorus)
I never would be perfect
I never would be true
You never understood
I never would be you
(verse 2)
You hammered on my senses
Chiseled at my soul
Repainted and remodeled
Forced me in a mold
The sculptor finds creation
Hiding in the stone
You carved up my reflection
Looking for your own
(chorus)
I never would be perfect
I never would be true
You never understood
I never would be you
Bridge
You never saw me rage
You never saw me burn
You never saw me reach
You never saw me turn
You only saw the footprints
Behind me, in the snow
You never saw, you never saw
You never saw me go
(chorus)
I never would be perfect
I never would be true
You never understood
I never would be you
