Intro: Verso 1: Where did we go? When was the moment that we broke in two? I think I know In fact I am sure I can blame it on you I remember the first big surprise The day you came home with your infrared eyes I looked inside them, but all I could see Were tiny reflections of me But it’s not me it’s you, what you’re turning into Is some kind of something that I never knew You used to be OK and I liked you that way But I don’t think that I like you better No I don’t think that I like you better Verso 2: You started out small Some gills and some wings and a few extra thumbs Now you’re thirteen feet tall Even when you’re asleep your machinery hums And I’m tired of the evenings I spend Making small talk with your new robot friends And their stupid insistence on scanning my iris When they know damn well who I am And you look like the victim of a surgical crime A little Darth Vader, a little Optimus Prime You used to be OK and I liked you that way But I don’t think that I like you better No I don’t think that I like you better Solo: Verso 3: So that’s how it goes Snap your mandibles once to say you understand Now hold me close Wait, now that’s too close, you’re crushing my hand I can tell by that shrieking alarm That your weapons systems are active and armed Do me a favor and power them down Just so we don’t have a scene And I wish it was different, but we’re just not the same At least we got someone we know we can blame You used to be OK and I liked you that way But I don’t think that I like you better No I don’t think that I like you better Outro:
