The Real You

Another piece of me that you took away
We’re gonna be a little better off someday
But if we keep on going like this
How do you expect us to live in constant bliss?
Ignorance it tastes so sweet
When you’ve fallen on your knees
You’re half the man that you think that I need
Why are you so filled with certainty?
The selfless mask you’re wearing
Doesn’t really seem to fit
How could you think that someone needs to save me.
I think I know what you’re about
When the words are falling from your mouth
You really had me fooled but now I know the real you
Something inside me says use your head
You say to me that you would fall on your sword
When there truly never was any war
Your excuses, they aren’t needed
You know that I don’t need to hear it
You’re living in a dream of self-sacrifice
You’re starting to believe in all of your lies
You think I need protected
Making me angry so I put up a fight
The selfless mask you’re wearing
Doesn’t really seem to fit
How could you think that someone needs to save me.
I think I know what you’re about
When the words are falling from your mouth
You really had me fooled but now I know the real you
Something inside me says use your head
I might be slow to catch on
But I’m fast when it comes to long gone
And I know that I gotta be strong
When it comes to me
I think I know what you’re about
When the words are falling from your mouth
You really had me fooled but now I know the real you
Something inside me says use your head
