The first time I felt you I couldn't have known it was a reversal
We had no normal mode so how could I be sure
We only had a first
And there were the undertones
The secrets we kept little lies abound
The crises spiking up every day
The drama we clumsily stumbled through and around
This must be nice for you
Role reversal
When I don't get to protect you any more
When you could persuade me
To be secretive and jealous
Role reversal
This must be this must be
The first time you said my name like I was crawling on your last nerve
I finally wondered if there was something wrong with me
You make me worry if something is broken near the top
The first time you scared me
I finally understood
I could care so much
And you would still not be okay
This must be
This must be
So hard for you
