The Man I Knew Better
I can't see you anymore
That's not you walking through the door
He has your face, he has your build
But I can't see the man he killed
What happened to all the things you taught me?
To grow out my own wings
You threw me into the fire to learn
Now you're leaving me to burn
Can you see who you're turning into?
By her side all the time
Now do you hear the things that I try to tell you?
No, you don't
You don't listen anymore to me
Where's the man I knew better?
He's not coming back, is he?
I don't have anywhere to go
Now I'm pretty lost and I don't wanna throw
Away whatever I still have with you
If you have the time to listen
Please hear what I have to say
Without shutting me out
Don't shut me out
Can you see who you're turning into?
By her side all the time
Now do you hear the things that I try to tell you?
No, you don't
You don't listen anymore to me
Where's the man I knew better?
He's not coming back, is he?
Oh, I'm trapped and there's no way to leave
The boundaries that you have set for me
I'm still a child, please understand
And I want you to hold my hand
Can you see who you're turning into?
By her side all the time
Now do you hear the things that I try to tell you?
No, you don't
You don't listen anymore to me
Where's the man I knew better?
He's not coming back to me
That's not you walking through the door
He has your face, he has your build
But I can't see the man he killed
What happened to all the things you taught me?
To grow out my own wings
You threw me into the fire to learn
Now you're leaving me to burn
Can you see who you're turning into?
By her side all the time
Now do you hear the things that I try to tell you?
No, you don't
You don't listen anymore to me
Where's the man I knew better?
He's not coming back, is he?
I don't have anywhere to go
Now I'm pretty lost and I don't wanna throw
Away whatever I still have with you
If you have the time to listen
Please hear what I have to say
Without shutting me out
Don't shut me out
Can you see who you're turning into?
By her side all the time
Now do you hear the things that I try to tell you?
No, you don't
You don't listen anymore to me
Where's the man I knew better?
He's not coming back, is he?
Oh, I'm trapped and there's no way to leave
The boundaries that you have set for me
I'm still a child, please understand
And I want you to hold my hand
Can you see who you're turning into?
By her side all the time
Now do you hear the things that I try to tell you?
No, you don't
You don't listen anymore to me
Where's the man I knew better?
He's not coming back to me
