It's A Dog Earred Ghost World (lyrics)

You crossed my mind the other day
I did what I said I wouldn't
I checked in on what you're doin'
I was bored and I'm still nosey
looks like you're up to more of the same

Always lived your life unafraid
I thought I kept up the pace
'cause it was all a competition,
and I knew that we were different
You got off on cat-calls spat from the street

How could I forget the way you said what you said, said what you said?
Just another gate keeper's excuse not to let somebody in

And I can see his eyes from the other side of your lens

So who's the boy of your dreams?
Does he keep it all from falling apart at the seams?
Yeah, looks like he keeps things real neat

I guess I still compare you to me
it's a hard habit to break
because you kept me like a sister
chucked my heart into the river
when you let a mister get in the way

How could I forget the way you said what you said, said what you said?
Just another gate keeper's excuse not to let somebody in

And I can see his eyes from the other side of your lens.

Didn't wanna ride in your back seat
You didn't wanna ride shotgun with me
Thought there was more to our camaraderie, turns out all we talked about was what we hate.

How could I forget the way you said what you said, said what you said?
I've had a lot of time to think about it

I thought about what you said
when you said that no one can change,
well guess what, we both changed
Would you say the same now that you've had time to age?
Yeah, how long did it take for you to see you through someone else's point of view?

Can we agree there was reason not to pretend?
'Cause I can see his eyes from the other side of your lens.

Hardest wound to heal is an arrow shot by a friend.
Still I can see his eyes from the other side of your lens.
