Complexes

Are you embarrassed of me?
You say that you're proud but only when I ask ya
Are you embarrassed of me?
Go on and say it out loud
You know I see right past ya
Oh, you always seem to let me down
Why can't you be more like me?
You know I'd do anything to see you smile
Why can't you be more like me?
I know that I'm gone but only for a while
Oh, it's something different
To what I thought it was?
Oh, are you someone different
To the one I thought I loved?
Oh, you always seem to let me down
Now you say you're doing everything you can
Guess it wasn't enough, it never made you a man
Now you're saying you're leaving
Everything in my hands
Give it a chance, we'll never know if you can't
Turn around, tell me what you see
Do you remember me and what we used to be?
It turns out your word is broken now
'Cause you always seem to let me down
Are you embarrassed of me?
They're laughing out loud
But you don't try to stop them
Are you embarrassed of me?
You're shrugging me off
Then you act like it's nothing
Oh, all I needed was for you to feel the same
Oh, it was always easy for me to be the blame
Oh, you always seem to let me down
Now you say you're doing everything you can
Guess it wasn't enough, it never made you a man
Now you're saying you're leaving
Everything in my hands
Give it a chance, we'll never know if you can't
Turn around, tell me what you see
Do you remember me and what we used to be?
It turns out your word is broken now
'Cause you always seem to let me down
Down, down, down
Down
Down
I wasn't strong enough
And you didn't give enough
When I needed you
I needed you
Now you say you're doing everything you can
Guess it wasn't enough, it never made you a man
Now you're saying you're leaving
Everything in my hands
Give it a chance, we'll never know if you can't
Turn around, tell me what you see
Do you remember me and what we used to be?
It turns out your word is broken now
'Cause you always seem to let me down
