Potential
Jackson Wagner Lyrics

I retraced my steps for you
I made the effort to go back and analyze all my actions and choices that led to this point, all for the sake of our relationship.

It's something that I thought I wouldn't have to
I believed that I wouldn't need to go back and reflect on my past because everything seemed to be going well.

Ever do
I never anticipated having to revisit my actions and decisions like this.

I reduced myself to dust
I diminished my self-worth and significance to the point of feeling insignificant and powerless.

Left out in the Sun to rust
I was neglected and abandoned, left under the scorching sun to deteriorate and lose my shine.

Impossible to stand out in the grains
It became impossible for me to distinguish myself and make a mark in the vast sea of ordinary individuals.

This old world just hasn't felt the same
Ever since our relationship took a turn, the world around me has lost its familiar and comforting essence.

I don't wanna hear about potential
I have no interest in listening to discussions about what could have been or what someone is capable of.

I don't care to know what's up your sleeve
I have no desire to uncover your hidden intentions or secrets.

I don't need to know about the burdens that you carry
I don't require knowledge of the hardships and challenges you carry within you.

If you're just gonna turn around and leave
If you're only going to abandon and walk away from our relationship, then I don't want to hear about your struggles or intentions.

Always changing, never fine
Everything seems to be in a constant state of flux, never settling into a satisfactory state.

Some things just don't clear the mind
Certain things remain unclear and unresolved, causing confusion and clouding of thoughts.

The way that they used to
The way these things used to make sense or bring clarity has changed.

Always rooted, somehow
I have always had a sense of stability and belonging, but that feeling has diminished in some way.

I bought my girl a camera now
I recently purchased a camera for my girlfriend.

She's off taking pictures of someone else
Instead of capturing moments with me, she is now focusing her attention and photography on someone else.

And I'm thinking I could use a little help
Feeling neglected and replaced, I find myself needing support and assistance to navigate through this difficult situation.

That's why I don't wanna hear about potential
Due to my current circumstances and experiences, I have no interest in discussing what could have been.

And I don't need to know what's up your sleeve
I don't require knowledge of your hidden motives or intentions.

If you're just gonna turn around and leave
If you're simply going to walk away from our relationship, then I don't want to know about your secrets or plans.
