Shadow Puppets

You got a lot to learn

About being a child

I've got a lot of patience

For a little while

You got a thing for faking smiles

And I know why

I got a thing for observation

No matter how hard I try

I could have said I never think about her fondly

I could have meant I never give up quite so easy baby

It wasn't so great

So much as something I don't want to have to explain

Not that I asked

I just hoped you'd say the right thing anyway

This is probably on me

If we're looking for blame

I've got a selfish intuition

Can you tell me the same

I know you're good at being bitter

And I won't lie

I had a talent for spotting sinners

At least at the time

I could have said I never think about her fondly

I could have meant I never give up quite so easy baby

It wasn't so great

So much as something I don't want to have to explain

Not that I asked

I just hoped you'd say the right thing anyway

If this was haunting both of us forever

It's not for lack of understanding and effort

I wish you all the things that I can not be

I hope you find something of value inside me

If this was haunting both of us forever

It's not for lack of understanding and effort

I wish you all the things that I can not be

I hope you find something of value inside me
