"Have You Seen Me Lately" lyrics

I've seen the palace of Versailles
I watched a river as it roared
I did a bad thing to a good thing
That day won't let me go

Been so afraid I couldn't breathe
I've seen the darkness and the light play
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 of mine
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 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
This is still a sin of mine that can forgive
I lost some excitement but it's easier to live

I made a promise that I broke
And not the kind you just forget
I changed some things I didn't like
Most of them I just accept

But my fears they never left me
They just alter in their form
I tried 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
This is still a sin of mine that can forgive
I lost some excitement but it's easier to live

Yes, it took some time to understand
That time was not a thief, more like a friend
This is still a sin of mine that can forgive
I lost some excitement, it's getting easier to live

I had a vision when I was 9
The [?]
I 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?
