When I Wasn’t Watching - Mandy Moore

Where was I when this was going down?

Maybe sleeping in, maybe outta town?

I spent my whole life waiting patiently

Convinced it all would come to me

My favorite version of me disappeared

Through longer days and shorter years

So where was I when this was going down?

Assumed the world would come around

To who we are

When nobody’s lookin'

When nobody’s lookin'

What I became

When I wasn’t watching

When I wasn’t watching

A little lost, a little rough

I asked myself, «Have you had enough?»

How do I start to retrace the steps

I haven’t even taken yet

The fear of what I’m facing in the mirror

Stops me cold and leaves me here

A little lost, a little rough

The lack of answers all led up

To who we are

When nobody’s lookin'

When nobody’s lookin

What I became

When I wasn’t watching

When I wasn’t watching

Who we are

When nobody’s lookin'

When nobody’s lookin

What I became

When I wasn’t watching

When I wasn’t watching

When I wasn’t watching

When I wasn’t watching
