Ive Been by Tom Kitt Band Lyrics

Standing in this room
Well, I see a lot of things
Images that grab my heart
Pulling at my strings
I’ve been told a hundred times it’s something I must do
It’s easier to say when it’s not you
And all my fear just sits inside
Fighting to get out
Would anyone come running
If they heard somebody shout
Is this what getting older's all about?
I’ve been helped, accused
I’ve been lost, confused
I’ve been the boulder and the stone
I’ve been led astray
I’ve been put on display
But I’ve never been alone
I’ve unwrapped my pictures
And I’ve hung them on the wall
I’ve used double hooks
To ensure that they won’t fall
Well, I swept away the dust and I put my blanket on the bed
Everything’s in order except my head
See I’ve never had to bolt the door
Afraid of what’s outside
I’ve never had to face the world
Without you as my guide
It's one long painful suicide
I’ve been hurt, abused
I’ve been asked, refused
I’ve been the sinus and the drone
I’ve been boxed and sold
I’ve been forced, I’ve been told
But I've never been alone
And I feel claustrophobic
I’ve lost the comfort that I found
Oh my body is screaming and there’s no one around
Hey
Oh, looking in the mirror
There’s a stranger’s face I see
Someone else's anguish
But their tears belong to me
And I notice how they fall so easily
I’ve been helped, accused
I’ve been lost, confused
I’ve been the boulder and the stone
I’ve been led astray
I’ve been put on display
I’ve been hurt, abused
I’ve been asked and refused
I’ve been the sinus and the drone
I’ve been boxed and sold
I’ve been forced, I’ve been told
I’ve been helped, accused
I’ve been lost, confused
I’ve been the boulder and the stone
I’ve been led astray
I’ve been put on display
I’ve been hurt, abused
I’ve been asked and refused
I’ve been the sinus and the drone
Oh
I’ve been bought and sold
I’ve been forced, I’ve been told
But I’ve never been alone
