Like I See You

Liar,
You turned me upside down inside your fire,
You burned me to the ground but my desire
Kicks me right between the thighs,
So I close my eyes.

You love me,
Or so you tell me, thanks,
You stand above me,
You offer me a handkerchief.
Why shove me,
When I’m walking down the plank
All on my own?

Why don’t you see you like I see
You don’t see me can’t you see me?

Five years,
Each a full year long,
Yes, it’s been five years,
Like that David Bowie song.
One-two-three-four-five years,
I played the fool while you got strong,
I know you’re wrong.

Why don’t you see you like I see
You don’t see me can’t you see me?

Long ago,
We made a song together high and low.
We felt so strong together,
I don’t know where we went so wrong.
Could it be it wasn’t real?
The more you feel,
The less you know.
I don’t know…
Please, don’t go.

Why don’t you see you like I see
You don’t see me can’t you see me?

I hate you.
You're rotten to the core,
I've got to break you.
Instead I beg for more and more,
I hate you.
But I hate me so much more.
I hate you, as I'm crawling out the door.
In fact, I hate to be apart from you,
I'm a fart without your shit.

Nobody ever loved me the way you let me down.
You crank up the circus music
   and make me play the clown.
You’re holding me underwater
   and asking me to breath,
You’re begging me please don’t go,
   while you’re asking me to leave.
Nobody every loved you the way I ran away,
I’m pushing you out the door
   and I begging you to stay.
      Please stay…
