Scared Little Boy

the more things change, the more i get screwed
there is no me, there is no you
we are two people unattached to each other
you try to light a fire under me,
but after all your ranting i just want to cry.

you take the words i say and twist their meaning
nothing means everything to you
i'm sad to be back in your convoluted circle
a part of me will always love you
but i'm sick of you telling me what to do
maybe it was better when you weren't speaking to me

you tell me you love me to death
that explains why it's killing me to have you around
you're an expert swimmer in muddy water
you tell me to figure out what i want
that's easy, i'm crazy, because i want you

the more i need you, the more you disappear
you've been an optical illusion all along
you look like a man, you talk like a man
but underneath all that bravado,
you're just a scared little boy!
