Ellen Randall: Music

Like You

(Ellen Randall)
You think you know
What you would do
But you really don’t know
Till it happens to you

I saw it coming
From miles away
I could have stepped aside
I’d have been okay

Like you, life once made sense to me
Like you, answers came easily
Like you, I always knew, just what to do

You don’t think
You’d do what I did
But you haven’t been there
You can only imagine

I stood transfixed
I could not breathe

Like you, answers came easily
Like you, I always knew, just what to do
Like you, I always knew, just what to d

The only thing I know for sure
Is the knowing I don’t know

Thoughts play in my head
Again and again
Smart and sensible
But I ignore them

Scenes in my brain
What might have been
I know I’d make
The same mistake again

Like you, life once made sense to me
Like you, answers came easily
Like you, I always knew, just what to do
Like you, life once made sense to me
Like you, answers came easily
Like you, I always knew, just what to do
