What You See
Wonka Bar Lyrics

Between what all is said and done
After everything's been said and done, there's still more to discover.

And what's to be, there's always something else to see
Even if we know where it's all headed, there are things that will still surprise us.

Truthful things said in a rage
Even when angry, people can speak truths they might not otherwise say.

And what was said, is running circles in my head
Words can echo in the mind long after they were spoken.

You said it's over now said it's over now
You've said it's the end multiple times, but it's still hard to accept.

You can't bring back yesterday
The past can't be changed or undone.

And I don't know what else to do, or what to say
When everything seems hopeless, it's hard to find a way forward.

There's always someone you'll betray
Sometimes actions we take can hurt those around us, even if unintentionally.

You said you've seen what I've become
You've noticed a change in me, for better or for worse.

And who's to say, if we still like this anyway
Even if things have changed, it's hard to know if it's still what we want.

You can't believe it, you can't believe what you see
Sometimes the truth is hard to accept, even when it's laid out in front of us.

And even though you walk away, I still get blamed
Even if someone chooses to leave, it's easy to blame them for everything that went wrong.

You pray on all that I'm ashamed
Others can use our insecurities against us, manipulating our emotions.

A wanting wish came true in vain
Sometimes the things we desire most do not bring happiness as expected.

My mind a sieve and yours is one which can't forgive
We all have different ways of processing and reacting to events, some more forgiving than others.

And one more time I look beyond
Continuing to search for something that may not be there.

'Cause I know you'll miss this when it's gone
Even if we know it's time to move on, it's hard to let go of what we're used to.

But I know it's just not right this way
Despite the temptation to hold onto the past, we know it's not the best path forward.

To live beyond what time has sent
To challenge what we believe is the natural order of things.

Or even still, to not live long enough to feel
Sometimes life is cut short before we can truly experience all it has to offer.

Feel like it's none my business, not getting give'd in excess
Feeling left out or excluded from something that's not really our concern anyway.

I know that you can't witness, what it is I'm asking you to see
It can be hard to get others to understand what we're going through, especially if they haven't experienced something similar themselves.

All night is spent in sorrow, not knowing what's tomorrow
Worrying about the future and dwelling on negative emotions.

All things that's given borrowed, only when they're handed you to me
Sometimes we only truly appreciate something when it's taken away or may not be permanently ours.
