Narcissist's Disguise

I give and I give and you take away

These gifts poured freely onto you

I care and I care and you run away

From caring for you

I try and I try to reach out to you

You won't let me in

You take and you take what is left of me

Till I'm bones and skin

Selfishness slowly creeps in

You don't follow through on empty promises

You don't follow through on half-truth lies

You don't follow through when it's not about you

The narcissist, the empath your disguise

The narcissist, the empath your disguise

You pull and you pull me into your messy life

I sink and I sink into your elaborate narrative

You tease and you tease until I get just enough attention to ride on

I cling and I cling to your excuses like grapes to the vine

Selfishness slowly creeps in

I'm already fully drawn in

You don't follow through on empty promises

You don't follow through on half-truth lies

You don't follow through when it's not about you

The narcissist, the empath your disguise

The narcissist, the empath your disguise

Ignore the world more each day

It'll help to keep everyone away

Why are you afraid to feel

Anything remotely real

You don't follow through on empty promises

You don't follow through on half-truth lies

You don't follow through when it's not about you

The narcissist, the empath your disguise

The narcissist, the empath your disguise

You finally removed your disguise
