I hate you still, yet I imitate you

You're in my dreams, pushing me around

I move my mouth, I watch her cry

It's killing me and you wonder why



Always said, "I wouldn't be that way"

I always said, "I wouldn't be that way"

Capsized, cut down to size

Capsized, like colors bleed



Now they're all the same to me

I feel his hand and I know

I'm damned, a puppet on a string

And the man behind the screen



This is the last time I treat you like that

This is the last time I act like a man

This is the last time I drink myself to sleep

This is the last time I act before I think

Oh, but the things kids say
