A Bit Of History

I've never been able to make you believe in me
You have always been too wrapped up to see
How am I to make you understand?
How am I to make you understand that I can do anything
That he could want out of me?
Now I am gonna be the leader he wants me to be
Maybe I should help you understand
Maybe you should let me help you understand
And I know it’s our turn
It’s time to do this on our own

And we've been saying it all along
And now you’re staring in from the outside

There was nothing we could do to convince you to stay
Cause you had made up your mind you were walking away
How am I to make you understand?
How am I to make you understand?
We were gonna do whatever we thought it would take
As long as it was a decision he told us to make
Maybe I should help you understand
Maybe you should let me help you understand
And I know it’s our turn
It’s time to do this on our own

And we've been saying it all along
And now you’re staring in from the outside
You thought you we’re safe, but you were wrong
And now you’re the one being outside

Is it cold out there, where you’re all alone?
But you could come back inside if it weren't for your pride
Just let it go, just let it go

And we've been saying you were wrong
We've been saying you were wrong
We've been saying you were wrong
We've been saying you were wrong

And we've been saying it all along
And now you’re staring in from the outside, (from outside)
You thought you we’re safe, but you were wrong
And now you’re the one being outside. (outside, oh)
