Lyrics You Are - Frank Hermans

I stared at my feet and wondered where my love did go
A bastards work is never done
Brave enough for one day looking at an old Cosby show
Feeling naked without a smoking gun

The frenzy in your eyes learns me that pride really hurts
The spider caught some flies and hides them in the outskirts
I guess I have a conscience after all
Or am I just preparing my downfall

You are
My appalling compliance
An image in my brain
The perfect misalliance
My personal tear stain
Yes, you are

I'm not a hero, more a problem, trying to be cool
I always felt like a misfit
My days are nearly over and I'm still acting like a fool
In the face of old age I wanna spit

I'm too much of a coward to say what you really mean to me
We won't die right away, but will disappear into the sea
I don't believe in myself anymore
Please lead me slowly to the backdoor

You are
My appalling compliance
An image in my brain
The perfect misalliance
My personal tear stain
Yes, you are
