Have You Seen Me Lately Songtext
von Deportees

I′ve seen the palace of Versailles
I've watched a rivered as it roared
I did a bad thing to a good thing
That day won′t let me go
I've been so afraid I couldn't breathe
I′ve seen the darkness in a light place
I used to think that I was smart
These days I′m not so sure

I didn't go to many places
I saw the world inside a mind
I never took too many chances
It didn′t kill me when I tried
I found my love when I was young
She grew a garden in my heart
I've felt the love only a child brings
It was everything they said


And it took some time to understand
That time was not a thief, more like a friend
There′s a stillness in a mind that can forgive
I've lost some excitement but it′s easier to live

I made a promise that I broke
And not the kind you just forget
Changed some things I didn't like
Most of them I just accept
My fears they never left me
They just alter in their form
I try to act like I'm alright
And usually that works

And it took some time to understand
That time was not a thief, more like a friend
There′s a stillness in a mind that can forgive
I′ve lost some excitement but it's easier to live
Yes, it took some time to understand
That time was not a thief, but a friend
There′s a stillness in a mind that can forgive
I've lost some excitement
It′s getting easier to live


I had a vision when I was nine
The center barely held
I've lost control on three occasions
It was the worst thing that I felt
If there′s one thing that I'm proud of
It's that I realized in time
That you don′t get many chances
To be decent and be kind
Have you seen me lately
Have you seen me lately
Have you seen me lately
Have you seen me lately
