All That Time You Missed Songtext

von Erin McKeown

There's no camera in your face
There's no phone up in your ear
When the glamour drops, what don't you hear?
All that time you missed
When you'd just rather drink
Did it make you deaf, make you blind?

There are pictures of us
In smiles we never kept
The glitter stayed, romance left
And you used to sing to me
And you used to strip for me
When the music stops, what's underneath?

And the easiest path to a broken heart
Is to keep moving
Could we have saved ourselves this walk
By standing still?

All that time you missed
When you tried not to feel
Did it make your heart disappear?
We cannot fix
Each other in ourselves
Everything you missed, I cannot help

I can only stand and wait
But for what you cannot say
An animal she must have her way
All that time we'll miss
If we cannot get through
What a waste it makes of me and you

And the easiest path to a broken heart
Is to keep moving
Could we have saved ourselves this walk
By standing still?
