The Way We Are

I watch you growing sometimes I see myself - in you
It can be scary but kinda funny too
I hear you talking
A lot of similarities
Your choice of words
And all the fantasies.

Just the way we are
I guess you've seen it now
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird
Falling down
From a mountain of frights
What's there to hold on to?

The way you makes all smile and the despair when you just
Won't go to sleep
You could have me walking a mile to make you smile still it's not
Really a weep
I know you fooled me
A million times
I just can't help it
Don't know why.

Just the way we are
I guess you've seen it now
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird
Falling down from a mountain of frights
What's there to hold on to?

I know you hate it but they really have to do
What they do
You're crying out your wishes I understand
Yet they don't have a clue.
