[Verse 1]
Sometimes I wonder if you realize the way you come across
It’s kind of crazy
Wish you could be honest, shout your internal dialogue
It wouldn’t faze me

[Chorus]
You like the sound of your voice and I like the sound of mine
Everyday you’re suffering, but you say you’re doing fine
I love the stories you tell, but I can tell when you lie
Don’t fu*king choke on your ego when you see me coming
I know you’re performing, I know you’re hurting

So you try to hide it when you see me coming
Don’t wanna confront it, I’m scared I’m annoying
You call mе your best friend to keep me at arm’s lеngth

[Post-Chorus]
I’d write you a letter, but you’d probably burn it
Deflect and (??) my adoration
You think you’re so clever, I think you are too
You know I see you when you see me

[Verse 2]
I gotta say, I do respect your commitment to the bit, that’s persona
We’re under the influence of life imitating art and we both know it

[Chorus]
You like the sound of your voice and I like the sound of mine
I see your face in a film and it makes me wanna cry
I love the stories you tell, but I can tell when you lie
Don’t fu*king choke on your ego when you see me coming
I know you’re performing, I know you’re hurting
So you try to hide it when you see me coming
Don’t wanna confront it, I’m scared I’m annoying
You call me your best friend, I secretly love it

[Post-Chorus]

I find it distrusting, sometimes I get triggered
And that’s probably ’cause you and I are alike
Yeah, I think I’m so clever, you think I am too
I know you see me when I see you

[Outro]
When you see me
When I see you
When you see me
When I see you
