From the recording Can't Remember The Last Time
Lyrics
Don’t You Stare
By Ted Horrell
If she thinks things might be looking up, she knocks herself back down
She likes to go back to the places she’s been, and have a look around
She tries to make revisions but they never seem to stick
It makes her mad to feel so helpless, yeah, it makes her sick
Don’t you feel bad about it
Don’t act like it was over for you long ago
You'd be different without it
But how, you can’t really know
To think that just one small mistake defines what she is now
Adds a new line every day to her furrowed brow
She fell into a well when she was too young to understand
When others try to pull her out, she will not take their hand
Don’t you feel bad about it
Don’t act like it was over for you long ago
You’d be different without it
But how, you can’t really know
And the orphan inside you continues to cry that it’s not really fair
Hey, it’s okay to look back, but don’t you stare
