One day I thought I would be just like you 
 I know now that you were never satisfied 
 Now that I'm grown I am nothing like you 
 I see the world with my own eyes 
 With so much love all around you 
 How could you never realize? 
 The ground above, the sky below you 
 Must beat the hell out of being alive 
    How many times can I forgive you? 
 If you are always on my mind 
 I've tried so hard to outrun you 
 You are never far behind   
 I never thought I would use you 
 Where you have gone I will not find 
 I know the... Cannot contend you 
 I feel all lost as time goes by 
 With so much love all around you 
 How could you never realize? 
 The ground above, the sky below you 
 Must beat the hell out of being alive   
 How many times can I forgive you? 
 If you are always on my mind 
 I've tried so hard to outrun you 
 You are never far behind.
