On Your Way Lyrics - Singles - Matt Caplan

All I wanted was to be brought to my knees 

But I could not see the forest for the trees 

All I saw inside the thing behind your face 

Was a sickness and a chill I can/like an embrace 

CHORUS 

Read/Breathe more into me 

I swear I know I'm bringing out the worst in you 

You're throwing up your hands 

And not believing I can even speak or even understand 

Read more into me 

I swear I know I don't know what I'm doing there 

But I'm scratching the surface of these lies 

I on your back 

You on your way 

And all I did not want was to be left behind 

Or be punished for the workings of my mind 

But all I saw inside the thing behind your face 

Was a sickness and a chill and an embrace 

(But all I saw when I extended both my arms 

Was a stranger so seducing with her charms) 

CHORUS 

But we never seem to get the things we ask for 

Till we stop demanding everything we know we just don't need 

But I am sickened by the thought of losing everything 

And all because I failed to fully realize my greed 

CHORUS
