The Inconvenient

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
