[Verse 1] I wish you’d watched your step Kept your eyes down, not straight ahead Your fall — my true death And now you rise again In the blueprint drawn for me You breathe in my stead Living with life I was owed Oh, I wish... you'd watched your step [chorus] I'll step aside you can come back i'd really like that you don't have to worry about me Why don't you have a seat In the Lazarus Machine A father's return, so bittersweet Built on the bones of what I could be Will never be, will never be. Verse 2 I speak, but there's no breath to carry sound And you don't turn your head The world keeps turning over me I wish I could turn away instead Gone from view is my newest regret. Dead to you is the worst kind of dead. I loved with what I had — All of me, and nothing left. [bridge] It's so hard to be friendly when... You're the one who's left behind Clapping from behind the curtain While someone else delivers the awaited line: "I'm alive" "I'm alive" "I'm alive. Will never be, will never be. [chorus] I'll step aside you can come back i'd really like that you don't have to worry about me Why don't you have a seat In the Lazarus Machine A father's return, so bittersweet Built on the bones of what I could be Will never be, will never be.
