Hindsight Reprise by Novelty Daughter Lyrics

For half these years, nothing grew here
A fact I did not realize to be true
For I could not see what did not move
Like an animal waiting for its kill...

For half these years, nothing grew here
A fact did not realize to be true
For I could not see what did not move
Like an animal waiting for its kill
I thought it would all work out if I stood still...

For half these years...

For half these years nothing grew here
A fact I did not realize to be true
For I could not see beyond my own hope
Like a foolish young girl with starry eyes

For half these years nothing grew here
A fact I did not realize to be true
For I could not see beyond my own hope
Like a foolish young girl with starry eyes
Who can willfully stand by her own lies
And is pitied by those who stand outside
And smile sadly and say it's no surprise
When her illusion finally does die
But at least she still strives for what is best
I guess I'll take that part and leave the rest
