lyrics

I'm a monster and a villain. I'm a public enemy.
The hate you hold increases, burns, the more you hear and see.
A person irredeemable; A repute irreparable.
But do you know who I am?
Do you really know this man?

No, I am just like you.
And I feel the same set of feelings you do.
Yeah, I am just like you.
And it hurts the same when you say the things you do.

I wasn't after trouble; just for you to come to Earth.
But it sent you further out. It was more pain than it was worth.
A friend that irreproachable; A damage irrepairable.
I pray it's not too late.
Do you even know the soul you hate?

And you mash my heart to pieces as I wear it on my sleeve.
Oh, why do people comfort you when you feign to be in need?

Well, I am not like you.
I don't change myself to be aspired to.
And if this is really you,
Then I don't think I ever want to.

It's strange the way we know the truth too late after the fact.
I knew that you'd respond. I didn't know that you'd react
Your people and your power play the pretence card on me,
And every step I take just makes it hard for you to see that

I was once like you.
Now I see reality with eyes brand new.
I hope I can show you.

Tear through these walls, break down your heart.
Let's give this thing a brand new start.
Put down your arms and cease your fire.
Take a step back and admire
That both our words and attacks
Are never too late to take back, and

I am just like you.
And I feel the same set of feelings you do.
Yeah, I am just like you.
And it hurts the same when you say the things you do.
