If we aren't saints 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 slip more
Than you could stand
And now you recognize that all the things you claim to hate
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, the ideal
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 are frail and are weak, you need a cage to be free
You're not perfecly unique, you were just like me
You are frail and you are 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
