Hiding in Plain Site

You, you, you used to build me up
Build me up only to tear me down again
You take delight in bringing others grief
You, you, you called me your friend
But I was just a means to your ends
Now the magician lays down his cards, a peddler of deceit

Some things have to be dragged up to ever see the light
While other traumas are hiding in plain site
Oh, I had to walk away once I saw the light of day
Something's gotta give to take you out of your plight
The worst day in the world can be the thing that incites
Ooh, follow the thread until you find your way

I, I must have been naive
I used to have nothing but trust for anyone that would have me
You, you see weakness as something to abuse
But I, I'm stronger than you think
I can only take so much before have to leave
I, I'm nobody's fool; try as you may, I won't stand accused

Some things have to be dragged up to ever see the light
While other traumas are hiding in plain site
Oh, I had to walk away once I saw the light of day
Something's gotta give to take you out of your plight
The worst day in the world can be the incident that incites
Ooh, follow the thread until you find your way

Oh - I'm not as mad as you believe
Oh - I'm quick to find my feet
After a lifetime of being knocked down
I've gotten good at picking myself up off the ground

Some things have to be dragged up to ever see the light
While other traumas are hiding in plain site
Oh, I had to walk away once I saw the light of day
Something's gotta give to take you out of your plight
The worst day in the world can be that which incites
Ooh, follow the thread until you find your way out of the night
Out of the night
Step into the light that was always there.
