I've seen your progress
   Stamped out on a bill
   You don't look hungry
   Only more fat for the kill
   Where is the time we spent
   It seemed so real
   Guess I was mistaken
  
   I thought your world might be worth knowing
   'Cause you take it like a man
   No I can't conceal the wounds you've opened
   Any more than I could understand
  
   No matter how I try
   I can't fault your success
   Makers of their destiny
   Must always deal so
   Close to the vest
   Take it before it's gone
   And listen good
   Just in case you've forgotten
  
   I forced you up to keep from crawling
   When you did not have a chance
   I can't blame you for not recalling
   Any more than I could understand
  
   I know the risk that I was taking
   That I would not try again
   I can't believe the life you're chasing
   Any more than I could understand
