The Real You

Don't like to go there often, but every once in a while I stroll down memory lane to remember your smile And in a dark corner of my fragile mind I see your eyes soft and kind staring back Now you're just a photo, someone that I don't know A memory on my phone from many years ago You're just an outline, a hazy recollection Here in my cerebellum, you're a distant perfection The real you, couldn't be loyal The real you, couldn't be true The real you had to go spoil all that we had I don't like the real you Oh, I don't like the real you (hmm) Oh, but maybe this was always you I said some things that I meant But the way you heard, I'll always regret Maybe it's karma, I'll admit But you betrayed me in a way worse than words You stuck the knife in Now you're just a photo, someone that I don't know A memory on my phone, from many years ago You're just an outline, a hazy recollection Here in my cerebellum, you're a distant perfection The real you, couldn't be loyal The real you, couldn't be true The real you had to go spoil all that we had Oh, I don't like the real you (hmm) Oh, but maybe this was always you I hope you know if you ever ask I'd forgive you, but you don't feel bad I'll be seeing you, only in the past I'll be seeing you in a flashback In a flashback The real you couldn't be loyal The real you couldn't be true The real you had to go spoil all that we had I don't like the real you Oh, I don't like the real you (hmm) Oh, but maybe this was always you (always you)
