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
