You've seen me at my worst
You've held me at my best
Now I know you're not a saint
Is it my time and place to rest?
You've been the marching band
You've been the protest sign
Now I know you're not the man
You led me to believe it's disguise
A beautiful disguise
Such a revealing sight
You're not who you said you were all this time
All this time
You've witnessed me in full bloom
You've watched me withering
You christened my afternoons
Now you think they're worth prohibiting
Is it 'cause I learned your ways?
Memorised wrinkles in your face
And heard times you've cried and made the mistake of
Staying when you wanted the world to end
Nailing another fence down so you couldn't
Get up and leave me rotting with everything
Suppose that's when the monster broke out
I caged the animal, I joked out-loud
A beautiful disguise
What a revealing sight
You're not who you said you were all this time
All this time
I wasn't too
I had caged myself in with you
There's a monster in me too
But mine doesn't hide quite like you do
No, I'm in plain sight
I get targeted while you get to get your name on a plaque
And no one wants me in their life
I get targeted but you'll get every single thing back
A beautiful disguise
I'm the only one who knows what lingers beneath the ice
You're not who you said you were all this time
All this time
A beautiful disguise
I still love you from my depths of hell to your plagiarist paradise
You're not who you said you were, guess that you never were
You're not who you said you were all this time
All this time
I didn't think it could've been true
My hero was just a ruse
Conceal your sheath
It's a secret I'll keep
You keep the key
Lock me away, lock me
