You walk around Like you own this town. With that rebellious look in your eye and your cap turned to the side. With a cigar on your lips and a bottle in your hand, you want to be the man. You once told me it was all an act. I think you just wanted to see how I'd react. But I knew all alone it wasn't true. The person you show the world just isn't you. What you've never figured out was that I didn't even like that him. I saw what was within. That's who I wanted. That's why I'm haunted. That's who I can't get over.
