Listen: mandymoore.lnk.to/WIWW

Lyrics:
Where was I when this was going down
Maybe sleeping in, maybe out of town
Spend a 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 ask myself, “have you had enough?”
I’ll do what’s taught 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 add 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
Who

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
