A Bit Of History

I�ve never been able to make you believe in me,
You have always been too wrapped up to see,
How am I to make you understand?
How am I to make you understand that I can do anything that he could want out of me?
Now I am gonna be the leader he wants me to be,
Maybe I should help you understand,
Maybe you should let me help you understand,
And I know it�s our turn,
It�s time to do this on our own.
And we�ve been saying it all along,
And now you�re staring in from the outside.
There was nothing we could do to convince you to stay,
�Cause you had made up your mind you were walking away,
How am I to make you understand?
How am I to make you understand?
We were gonna do whatever we thought it would take, as long as it was a decision he told us to make,
Maybe I should help you understand,
Maybe you should let me help you understand,
And I know it�s our turn,
It�s time to do this on our own.
And we�ve been saying it all along,
And now you�re staring in from the outside,
You thought you we�re safe, but you were wrong,
And now you�re the one being outside.
Is it cold out there, where you�re all alone?
But you could come back inside if it weren�t for your pride,
Just let it go, just let it go.
And we�ve been saying you were wrong,
We�ve been saying you were wrong,
We�ve been saying you were wrong,
We�ve been saying you were wrong.
And we�ve been saying it all along,
And now you�re staring in from the outside, (from outside)
You thought you we�re safe, but you were wrong,
And now you�re the one being outside. (outside, oh)
