lyrics

I’ve known you from the beginning, you always thought that you were good
You always made an effort when no one thought you would
You always disappoint me no matter how hard you try
It’s something I should count on, but I have a hard time

And I thought you were better than that
I thought that you were better than that

You’ve always lied to your friends, but also lie to yourself
It’s never really your fault, it’s always someone else
Say one thing and do another, that’s a good hypocrite
We’ve all got good intentions, so get over it

Make a resolution for January the first
No more second person when it’s you who is the worst

Now I’ve seen you at the ending, same as you’ve always been
Hiding in the foreground, just blending in

Straightforward & clean. Classic arrangements that strike me - dare I say - Beatle-esque. Not overproduced. Eytan’s signature if you will ;<) @dutchmn007
