Persona
What would it take
For us to stay in love
Darling I’d pay
If that could be enough
When you walk away
You take my heart with ya
Don’t throw it away
‘Cause I’ve got that covered, yeah
But every time that I talk to you
Am I watching you fade away
Or is it just that same thing I do
Where I miss you ‘till you’re in my space
Baby, I’m sorry
Shouldn’t have taken you up
What you said last summer
How you fell in love with the idea of me
Usually it’d kill me
Seeing you run
But lately I don’t even know ya
It feels like you’ve been a persona
Of who you wanna be
Why do I change when I get comfortable
I’ll keep up the pace
So I don’t have to know
If I cause you pain my darling
It hurts me ten-fold
I’m the man on your case
But I’m lost on the road
Baby, I’m sorry
Shouldn’t have taken you up
What you said last summer
How you fell in love with the idea of me
Usually it’d kill me
Seeing you run
But lately I don’t even know ya
It feels like you’ve been a persona
Of who you want to be
