about

This was the first song I wrote for the album, it's also the very first song I wrote to be used in any project.

lyrics

But man, I’m sick of saving face
I know what I want and I want to not care if it’s to your taste
But oh, when you’re there you control me
And often I wonder if you've ever really known me

I know you and I have had our differences
And I just want to know about you

I was just a kid
What am I now?
You made me feel small
You still do it now
Hidden behind my darth vader mask
I wanted some friends
But what do I want now?
I know you wouldn’t hit me again, now
Yet still you maintain control now
And i don’t know what is going on in your head
I wonder if you’ll keep that secret until you’re dead

But man, I’m sick of saving face
I know what I want and I want to not care if it’s to your taste
But oh, when you’re there you control me
And I wonder if you even really know me?

I love you!
I love you still!
