B.S.U.R.

in AlbumFlag

She's been holding on too long

Hoping I'm gonna change

Giving it up just a little bit more

Each time I come home

Looking and acting strange

Putting her down for putting up with me

(Chorus)

Be as you are

As you see as I am I am

Be as you are

As you see as I am I am

Do you think you might improve me

Trying to take control

Watching every little thing I do

Just like a bleeding movie

Just like a leading role

Mama, this ain't me and I don't

Believe that's you

- Chorus -

First you make believe

I believe the things

That you make believe

And I'm bound to let you down

Then it's I who have been deceiving

Purposely misleading

And all along you believed in me

So we circle around one another

Playing a [not ";I";] guessing game

Strangers at this masquerade

Pretending to know each other

We strain to catch a name

And never see the mistakes we must have made

- Chorus -
