i try to see
well
i guess that i'm blind
it's fine
with me
cause i'm
going to
keep trying
and i've made disapointment
my very best friend
i wait and see
who your going to be
and when
we don't want you be yourself
you see
we want you to free yourself
it does no good to pretend
that you are free
ican not see you
i love you but
it drags me down
i never felt like
i feel when i'm frying
i don't care where
i'm living
or i'm dieing
we just want you to free yourself
you see
we want you to free yourself
it does no good to pretend that you are me
why don't you be you
i love you but
you drag me down
cause i know it so well
how i never could tell
who's my very best friend?
how i know you so well
i could make you be me.
