lyrics

Why did you pull me away from my friends?
Like a father tightly squeezed my hand
Only to disappear
Again and again in the end

Why did he follow me to the bar
When I told him we wouldn't go far?
I was too drunk to hear
Him scream at my face in the end

Rise again
Shine again

Why did they look at me like some prize
Without ever approaching the light?
They brush their hands on me
I don't follow them in the end

You said I was hated by all of your friends
Because I looked too much like them
Stepping between us both
They pulled you away in the end

Rise again
Shine again
Rise again
Shine again

Three drinks is enough to leave me in shambles of unwed emotion
Ten years from now after you have grown thinner you'll show me your children
But you'll still be scared to grow
Uncertain of where it will end
Uncertain of where it will end

I am (or I was?) a cruel imitation
