If I could take back
The thoughts I thought and
Replace them with thoughts of you;
I still wouldn't want you.

If I could take back
The knowledge I know and
Replace it with something new,
I still couldn't love you.

If I could take back
The happenings that happened and
Replace them with something happier,
I still wouldn't have stayed with you.

I've been waiting in your shadows
For so long that I can't remember
The last time you spoke to me
Or if we'd even met before
Do you hate me now that
I've grown strong without you?
Or am I to you a frog beneath your shoe?
I've spent so much time here
Grovelling over your ways
Trying to make these habits stay
That I'm not sure when I last saw you
I tried to say hello to you once
A squeak came out and you walked past
Since then I've been silent and still
I've sat here quietly by my self
Wondering when someone will notice
That I've left the room
I'm not sure you ever knew I was there.
