I hate to admit it but peoples' perception of me is a lot more important to me than I let on. I always tell myself that I'm who I am and if people don't like it well then its their problem. But the truth of he matter is that I do want people to like me - to perceive me the way I want them to perceive me. Looking back on who I used to be and who I am today, they're two complete opposite people. Six years ago I thought I had reached the pinnacle of being a selfless, giving, person. Now that I've had time to mature and reflect on that, I realize that it wasn't who I am, and although that is how many people saw me, the people that mattered most got someone different. What bothers me is that they'll remember my good side, but the side of me that was selfish is what certain people will remember me as and that kills me. There was one person who I should have given everything to and I gave them close to nothing. I hate the fact that it is that aspect of who I was that is the most prevalent memory of me. I just want to be a good person and do what's right. I don't want o look back on the person I used to be and be ashamed of it. I need to be more true to myself and not let someone change who I am.
Lyrics:
"Oh, Hello"
Didn't I know you, mystery man? Strange as all new thoughts on impotence.
All I want are windows It wouldn't be the first time.
Didn't I, didn't I know you? Didn't I, didn't I know you, didn't I know you? All along, all we've been given is the ugliest tidings. All along, we've been a mess. Now quick dilation is the only chance we have left.
A stranger's just someone that you've forgotten. How will we know if we've met before or done this dance, Mystery man?
Didn't I, didn't I know you? Didn't I, didn't I know you, didn't I know you? All along, all we've been given is the ugliest tidings. All along, we've been a mess. Now quick dilation is the only chance we have left.
