[Verse 1]

I'm feeling like you hate the things I do

Like nothing’s ever good enough for you

I'm seeing how people can divide when they're the same

In every conversation with my ma

She tells me I’m exactly like you, Pa

I'm working this overtime to fight my DNA

[Chorus]

The parallels

The parallels that I can't shake

These parallels

The pieces of my past that shape

The parallels

[Verse 2]

I thought that I could hide behind my smile

But what I ignore will never reconcile

I'm splitting my time, half on trial and half just in denial

Oh, oh

[Chorus]

The parallels

The parallels that I can't shake

These parallels

The pieces of my past that shape

The parallels

[Bridge]

I'm seeing so much of you in all the things that I do

Through the space in between

I'm seeing so much of you in all the things that I do

Through the space in between

[Outro]

The parallels

(I'm seeing so much of you in all the things that I do)

The parallels that I can’t shake

(Through the space in between)

These parallels

(I’m seeing so much of you in all the things that I do)

The pieces of my past that shape

(Through the space in between)

And I can't hide it

The parallels

I’m a reflection of you and I can't hide it

Parallels

I'm a reflection of you

Parallels

(I'm seeing so much of you in all the things that I do)

Parallels that I can’t shake

(Through the space in between)

These parallels

(I'm seeing so much of you in all the things that I do)

The pieces of my past that shape

(Through the space in between)
