Lyrics:
Why don’t you look at me when you speak?
You’re in such a hurry to distance yourself
Are you just gonna keep watching the damage?
They draw the line, an invisible border
That’s enough
It’s already out of hand
Do you expect me to just stand and watch?
But it’s too much pressure
It’s none of my business
I won’t care about it
I’ll cover my eyes now
It stings as if I was backstabbed
My heart is heavy
‘Cause I know, I know, I know
Keep your distance
Be cautious
In case you’re afraid to get hurt
‘Cause we know, we’re bystanders
You already got nothing
and don’t want to lose it
There’s nothing else to do
‘Cause we know, we’re bystanders
Why do you keep watching? It’s strange
I’m not the only one, seems everyone knows it too
It seems a lot like you and I
But who’s judging here?
Nothing’s gonna change, baby, yeah
I feel like I’ve missed something for quiet some time
My heart is heavy
‘Cause I know, I know, I know
Keep your distance
Be cautious
In case you’re afraid to get hurt
‘Cause we know, we’re bystanders
You already got nothing
and don’t want to lose it
There’s nothing else to do
‘Cause we know, we’re bystanders
You keep saying
I’m so busy, yeah yeah
You habitually avert your eyes, yeah yeah
Hoping you won’t feel guilty, yeah yeah
‘Cause we know,
we’re bystanders yeah
You’re so certain but it’s not a trick question
What’s the issue? It’s not an impossible task, nah
But I become breathless in an instant
Am I in the wrong?
My head aches
Keep your distance
Be cautious
In case you’re afraid to get hurt
‘Cause we know, we’re bystanders
You put yourself first so you make excuses
There’s nothing else to do
‘Cause we know, we’re bystanders
You keep saying
I’m so busy, yeah.
You habitually avert your eyes, yeah yeah
Hoping you won’t feel guilty, yeah yeah
‘Cause we know,
we’re bystanders yeah
You keep saying,
you keep saying, Yeah, yeah
I’m so busy, I’m so busy, Yeah, yeah
You keep saying,
you keep saying, Yeah, yeah
We know, we’re bystanders
