Paying attention to what I do does not allow you to take a closer look at you. It will not present a picture of you. Don't you compare don't you dare I'm over here and you're over there.
Got to get your bad taste out of my mouth. No more of your sour essence will I allow.
Let me help you soften things right up, you acting dumb its not whats up.
It must be rough being you, paying close attention to everything I do.
[Intro]
Yeah, it’s time to break free,
From the weight that you put on me.
[Verse 1]
Paying attention to what I do,
Hiding your flaws while you’re judging too.
You think you’re seeing clearer,
But all you’ve done is smear your picture.
Don’t you compare, don’t you dare,
I’m on my path, you don’t even care.
You think you’re wise, it’s not so true,
Worrying about me won’t fix you.
[Pre-Chorus]
Got to get your bad taste out of my mouth,
Your sour essence, it’s time to bounce.
Let me help you soften things right up,
This acting dumb, it’s not gonna erupt.
[Chorus]
It must be rough being you,
Clinging to shadows, it’s all you ever do.
While I’m breaking chains, you’re just standing still,
Projecting your fear, is it giving you a thrill?
[Verse 2]
You say you want to see me shine,
But in the process, you’re wasting time.
It’s hard to grow when you’re held down,
Lift your eyes up, don’t you drown.
Pushed in a corner, playing the fool,
When will you see, I’m not your tool?
In this game of life, it’s not just me,
You reap what you sow, can’t you see?
[Bridge]
What you do unto others will come back to you,
Instead of lifting, you’re cutting me through.
Turn the mirror ‘round, face your own truth,
Stop living through me, it’s time to renew.
[Chorus]
It must be rough being you,
Clinging to shadows, it’s all you ever do.
While I’m breaking chains, you’re just standing still,
Projecting your fear, is it giving you a thrill?
[Outro]
So take a step back, let it go,
Find your own rhythm, let your light grow.
I’m moving on, no time for your scheme,
Living my life, chasing my dream.
I know you think your doing it for my best, but sit it down somewhere, your interrupting my quest. Seeing you in action projects a reflection of you. What you do unto others will come back to haunt you.
