I would react badly to the slightest hint of hesitance He'd bend awkwardly to suit my mood, no word from his defense I'd cry knowing how my tears felt like acid burning through his skin Pushed every little button but the right one that would let me in Now he's afraid of me He's afraid of me It took me by surprise, the hatred in his eyes I've pushed this man as far as he could go But he lacked the words to let me know He acted out, now I concede it is my fault I made changes that went unnoticed, sang songs for deaf ears Mistook my silence for punishment, as it had been all these years I'd cry knowing how my tears felt like acid burning through his skin Now he's afraid of me He's afraid of me It took me by surprise, the hatred in his eyes I've pushed this man as far as he could go But he lacked the words to let me know He acted out, now I can Took me by surprise, the hatred in his eyes I've pushed this man as far as he could go But he lacked the words to let me know He acted out, now I concede it is my fault
