Oblivious
LaBrie James Lyrics

Like a stranger in the waiting
She feels like an outsider in this situation, waiting for her chance to intervene.

Her arrogance a sure foot in
Her overconfidence makes her feel like she has an advantage.

Could blow her cover
If she speaks up, she might reveal something she's been trying to hide.

If I warned them
She wants to tell others about the situation but doesn't know if it's the right thing to do.

Letting them know
She's considering whether or not to inform others about what's happening.

She's not who she pretends
Someone is pretending to be someone they're not, and she wants to reveal their identity.

My stomach in knots
She feels very anxious and nervous.

A relentless force
These feelings are very strong and persistent.

Consumed with these thoughts
She can't stop thinking about what's happening, and it's affecting her deeply.

That kept on playing over
These thoughts are on a loop and won't leave her mind.

I sway back and forth
She's physically affected by her emotions and can't remain still.

My face it contorts
Her facial expression shows her inner turmoil.

Interpret obscene
She can only see negative interpretations of what's happening.

Oblivious I seem
She appears to be oblivious to everything else because of the intense emotions she's feeling.

It never will end
She feels like her situation will never get better or go away.

Look at what I am
She's reflecting on herself and her actions in this situation.

I have no more pride
She feels ashamed of herself and has lost her confidence.

It ditched my ride
Something has gone wrong, and now she's in a bad situation.

I'm useless
She feels like there's nothing she can do to make things better.

It happened so quick
Something happened very suddenly and unexpectedly.

It makes me feel sick
This situation is making her physically ill.

A sheer heart attack
She's experiencing extreme stress and anxiety.

I guess I got my wish
She got what she wished for, but it's not what she wanted.

So you think that you can handle her
Someone thinks they can deal with a difficult person, but they're underestimating the situation.

She's not your type
This person is not suited for someone with certain preferences or expectations.

But man she's pulling you in
This difficult person is still drawing this person in and causing trouble.

I've seen the look
She's observed how someone is acting and knows they're in trouble.

Think you've got her all figured out
Someone thinks they understand the difficult person and can handle them, but they're wrong.

But you don't know
They don't have all the information, and they're going to get in deeper if they don't realize that.

It's her who's pulling your strings
The difficult person is actually in control and manipulating the situation to their advantage.

Hey Dad
She's addressing her father and talking to him about her life.

Did you get my picture
She's asking if he received a photo she sent him.

Your girl turned out
She's referring to herself as her father's daughter.

Being just like you
She's acknowledging that she's becoming like her father in some way.

You bought my love
Her father has manipulated her in some way to make her love him.

And I'm rotten to the core
She's realizing that she's not a good person and that this may be because of her father's influence.

Don't know what's love
She's questioning whether she even knows what love is because of her upbringing.

It's my tribute to you
She's expressing that all of these negative aspects of her persona are due in some way to her father.

You ditched my ride
Someone has let her down and she's in a bad situation because of it.

Entangled in this
She's caught up in a situation that she can't seem to get out of.

You know you're the prick
She's calling someone out for their bad behavior and blaming them for her current state.

And can't take it back
The person who caused this mess can't undo it, and she's suffering because of it.

Now
She's calling out for someone or something in the present moment.

Where are you now
She's questioning what's happening and where she is at this moment.

Now
Again, she's calling out for something or someone in the present moment.

Where are you now
She's questioning what's happening and where she is at this moment.

Now
Once again, she's calling out for something or someone in the present moment.

Where are you now
She's questioning what's happening and where she is at this moment.
