the man you told me you would become Lyrics by iimber

string theory

2022

Take a step back
II want you to look real hard in the mirror
Like you've always told me to do
It's like you're colorblind
Tell me a lie
Let me eat myself alive
You never know how rumors lie
You only see in gold
Your memories are cold
You're scared of ending up just like your old man did
Oh I never met him
Build it up inside
It's eating you alive
But only when you need it most as an excuse to control me
You control freak
Reflect
(Reflect)
On the man you told me you would become
Inflicting injuries now so you can feel numb
Where's he at now?
Hope he's doing well
Help me to decide
If five years later you are the enemy
Or if you're on my side
Dissociate for hours to no avail
With her it's like rain, with you, it's all hail
Why can't we sit down and talk like we're supposed to?
Reflect
(Reflect)
On the man you told me you would become
Inflicting injuries now so you can feel numb
Where's he at now?
I hope he's doing well
I hope he's doing well, I hope he's doing well
I hope he's doing well, I hope he's doing well
I hope he's doing well, I hope he's doing well
I hope he's doing well, I hope he's doing well
I hope he's doing well, I hope he's doing well
I hope he's doing well, I hope he's doing well
I hope he's doing well, I hope he's doing well
I hope he's doing well
