"When I Wasn't Watching" lyrics - MANDY MOORE

MANDY MOORE
"When I Wasn't Watching"
(Jason Boesel / Taylor Goldsmith / Mandy Moore / Mike Viola)

Where was I when this was goin' down?
Maybe sleepin' 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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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
