I'll Be Your Cautionary Tale
I get it, you're sick of me, I didn't turn out how you wanted
I won't be, your sycophant, and I won't see you when you come home
You changed so much, and I did not
Spent too much time in the melting pot
The system failed, it wasn't me
You're not successful, just lucky
You won't see me again
You won't see me again
You won't see me again
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You'll be my dearly departed
I'll be your cautionary tale
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You'll be my dearly departed
I'll be your cautionary tale
You were, a part of me, made in the same cookie cutter
What happened, to our old dreams, of not giving up and never giving in
Deep inside, you're still the same
You're just pretending, playing the game
Our bond's too strong, to break apart
Your ties to me screwed you from the start
You'll see me again
You'll see me again
You'll see me again
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You'll be my dearly departed
I'll be your cautionary tale
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You'll be my dearly departed
I'll be your cautionary tale
So long, you're leaving me
I burned the bridge down one too many times
I'll see you in your lucid dreams
Your one last effort save me
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You'll be my dearly departed
I'll be your cautionary tale
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You'll be my dearly departed
I'll be your cautionary tale
I won't be, your sycophant, and I won't see you when you come home
You changed so much, and I did not
Spent too much time in the melting pot
The system failed, it wasn't me
You're not successful, just lucky
You won't see me again
You won't see me again
You won't see me again
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You'll be my dearly departed
I'll be your cautionary tale
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You'll be my dearly departed
I'll be your cautionary tale
You were, a part of me, made in the same cookie cutter
What happened, to our old dreams, of not giving up and never giving in
Deep inside, you're still the same
You're just pretending, playing the game
Our bond's too strong, to break apart
Your ties to me screwed you from the start
You'll see me again
You'll see me again
You'll see me again
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You'll be my dearly departed
I'll be your cautionary tale
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You'll be my dearly departed
I'll be your cautionary tale
So long, you're leaving me
I burned the bridge down one too many times
I'll see you in your lucid dreams
Your one last effort save me
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You'll be my dearly departed
I'll be your cautionary tale
You're not the person who I thought you would be
Like way back when you were just a fuckup like me
You'll be my dearly departed
I'll be your cautionary tale
