If you're under the impression I'm alright
I guess you never noticed, I guess you might have known
I've been holding this together for so long
But I guess you might have noticed, well, I guess youThe beast within the burden is all mine
A product of his father, a slave to his bride
I feel I need to reveal my true stripes
But the bitch of all this trouble here waits behind the wind to find outYou set me up to leave me, you wanted to feel
Shallow love, shallow lives
Every word you speak of what you wanted from me
Wanted from me, yeahI'm sinking more and more into my lies
Now home is just a pinprick in the vastness of my life
Well I feel the pressure, feel the pleasure, feel the pain, you're not alone
Well I feel the pleasure, feel the pain, feel the painYou set me up to leave me, you wanted to feel
Shallow love, shallow lives
Every word you speak of what you wanted from me
Wanted from me, yeahRealizations, I am not what you thought I was
You change directions every time someone judges us
In moderation, what was once us now never was
You change directions every time someone judges usYou set me up to leave me, you wanted to feel
Shallow love, shallow lives
Every word you speak of what you wanted from me
You wanted from me, yeahSet me up to leave me
You set me up to leave meRealizations, I am not what you thought I was
In moderation, what was once us now never was
