If we are tempted in this life
Don't act like you're surprised
It's not that I have change
So don't say you knew me when I was a better person
I never was a different man
I just let the mask lift more
Than you could stand
And I recognize that all those things you claim to be
Are personified in someone that you thought was so different from you
So suddenly you care
To be a part of this
To help me through this life
Because you're there for me
When things are going right
But everything will change
Just like it always does
And you are still ashamed
Of the idea that I never was
Perfection, and the idea
Yes, I am flawed, but I am real.
So suddenly you care
To be a part of this
To help me through this life
Because you care for me
When things are going right
You're not perfecly unique, you were just like me,
You were frail and you were weak, you need a cage to be free.
You're not perfecly unique, you were just like me,
You were frail and you were weak, you need a cage to be free.
To be a part of this
To help me through this life
Because you're there for me
When things are going right
But everything will change
The curtains will reveal
There are wounds in life
That time will never heal.
