I can see it was all just a lie
Every step you take, I'm two behind
I'm trying to catch up to you

I couldn't believe it wasn't you
Beneath the surface I knew the truth

So I turned my back on you
Always looked the other way
I tried to bend all the rules
To only find myself astray

I'm wide awake
And now I can see

I can see it was all just a lie
Every step you take, I'm two behind
I'm trying to catch up to you
I can see it was me that let you down
God, show me what I can't see
I'm trying to catch up to you

You tried to show me from the start
The bitterness growing in my heart

So I turned my back on you
Always looked the other way
I tried to bend all the rules
To only find myself astray

I'm wide awake (I'm wide awake)
And now I can see

I can see it was all just a lie
Every step you take, I'm two behind
I'm trying to catch up to you
I can see it was me that let you down
God, show me what I can't see
I'm trying to catch up to you

And now I can see
I'm wide awake (I'm wide awake)
And now I can see

I can see it was all just a lie
Every step you take, I'm two behind
I'm trying to catch up to you
I can see it was me that let you down
God, show me what I can't see
I'm trying to catch up to you
