"I Am You" lyrics

"I Am You"

Tell me something I don't know
It's written on my skin
It never goes away, my history's been found guilty
Please don't rub it in

What about the way we tried to handle the scandals?
Flirting with the burn
Here we go again, sweep that trouble under the covers
Will we ever learn?

We're all chasing some salvations
In every empty kiss
Like a pearl inside a shell that don't exist

I love you, I hate you
You play me, I play you a little better
When we play the same kind of a fool
It's all so damn familiar
The proof is right there in the mirror
No matter what we do, it cuts right through
The truth is, I am you
I am you

Falling for the same addiction
Drinking from the well
In and out of hell the silver tongue spits fiction
Doctor, we need help

I don't remember who I once was when I was someone
Who I'm supposed to be
Where's the mighty spark of love, that torch eternal
Changes everything

We're all chasing some salvations
In every empty kiss
Like a pearl inside a shell that don't exist

I love you, I hate you
You play me, I play you a little better
When we play the same kind of a fool
It's all so damn familiar
The proof is right there in the mirror
No matter what we do, it cuts right through
The truth is, I am you
I am you

Oh, you

Little white lies and alibis
And the stars that don't line up
And our day never comes

I love you, I hate you
You play me, I play you a little better
When we play the same kind of a fool
Well, it's all so damn familiar
The proof is right there in the mirror
No matter what we do, it cuts right through
The truth is, I am you
Yeah, you

The truth is, I am you
The truth is, I am you
Just like you
