The Way I Met You
When I look at you I see the person that I wish that I could be
When I talk to you I hear the words that I wish that I could say
As time goes by I will do all I can to turn you into me
As time goes by I will see me in you and then turn away
We meet someone and fall in love with who they are
Yet we try to change them into who we want them to be
On our quest we stop at nothing and no way is too far
We bend and twist, but is this really what we want to see
When you look at me I admire the person that I cannot be
When you talk to me I listen to the words that I cannot say
As time goes by you will fight my attempts to turn you into me
As time goes by you should stay yourself and I won't turn away
