You're not mine
you belong to the stars
and you can't be contained
cause you're not like us

it's easy to see
how i've used you to grow
but hard to learn
how to let go
and leave you alone

how many times must i relapse
into those old predictable traps
before it becomes obvious
that you're looking at me looking at you

how many eyes must i have
a telescope, a magnifying glass
before it becomes obvious
that you're looking at me looking at you

you know, kids
sometimes are cruel
and we were the ones
the bullies at school

we treated you bad
cause we don't understand
who you are
and it got out of hand
we used you
i still don't understand

how many times must i relapse ...
