Jaded

Faded in a parking lot
Jaded from the lie I've bought
There you are, in your car
Telling me everything I'm not

These walls used to come down easily
And my dreams aren't as clear as they used to be
When I'm waving through a window and nobody sees me
Am I just killing time?

I just wanna scream at the top of my lungs
Stop comparing me to the woman we love
I try, and I fight it, but it's never enough
Don't you see
I'm not Hayley

She's there
In the air I breathe
Laid bare
Every note I sing
Stuck in place, can't retrace
Where I was when you clipped my wings

Your praise
Had me at your beck and call
I know
You changed your mind like the fading fall
Now I'm waiting for the voice in your head to be mine
Can it just be my time?

I just wanna scream at the top of my lungs
Stop comparing me to the woman we love
I try, and I fight it, but it's never enough
Don't you see
I'm not Hayley
