Don’t know where i been
Our eyes met, but now they’re gone
I lied when you asked me, if i was strong
Time has passed and he is gone
You think he’s here, but you are wrong
You deserve him, and i burned him
He’s a phantom of what i was
Tried my best to be
But i don’t know how to grow
The face i lost long ago
The face i wear, is a mask
The soul you deserve to have
No longer lives in me
My growth destroyed me
And you asked me if i had grown
And learned how to be stronger
But i never did (never did)
Only how
Only how to pretend i was
My world changed, so i guess i should too
Possessive paranoia, scared of what i could lose
Look dad now i got a beard too
I had left home, we’re coming on to year two
I been roaming the foreign lands
Gather relics, touching texture with my hands
Every piece of history has shifted all my misery
If i showed them what i learned they might perceive me bitterly
I’m different from the boy that you remember
Though im not a man, im just a wind torn ember
I wish i could give you what i once had offered
The laugh that i bear has begun to grow somber
I’m scared you won’t recognize the voice that you hear
That my tainted self is something you will fear
And i realize i can’t be the son that i should
The friend that i should, the lover that i should
If i hide inside my adolescent face
I’ve grown victim to the passage of the days
You all deserve more, and i wish that i had it
My compassion dissolved into static
Wish i was the son i only am when i pretend
Wish i was the lover you deserved, wish i was a better friend
Tried my best to be
But i don’t know how to grow
The face i lost long ago
The face i wear, is a mask
The soul you deserve to have
No longer lives in me
My growth destroyed me
