I believe her when she tells me...

I believe her when she tells me How you've become a monster She has no reason to lie... She says you are filled with hate But I know the truth is more complicated You just bounced from one wall to another We both drank from the same fountain She says I wouldn't recognize you I'm sure she's right Even more sure She wouldn't recognize me We are both paying She says she doesn't really get along with you What could you have done, I wonder To push her away, it's sad, because I know In pushing her you exacted revenge against me She tells me a lot of things They hurt, they anger, they pour salt in the wound And I would listen to her all day long Because I long to fill in the gaps The years absent of you I want to know that I hurt you almost as much as you hurt me
