Become
Candlebox Lyrics

I'll get so close to you, I'll let you down my friend
I will develop a close relationship with you, but ultimately disappoint you.

You see it in this face, and hear it in these words
My actions and words will reveal my tendency to let people down.

And I begin to know, and I begin to feel, everything I've wanted
Interacting with you has helped me discover my desires and feelings.

And I become a man through you
Being with you has made me mature and grow as a person.

You find out my needs, this separation,
You discover what I require from others, causing our relationship to distance.

Push away everything and anyone connected,
I will distance myself from your life and everyone in it.

To you needs and to your life and to your ties
I will abandon your needs, life, and relationships completely.

I'll push it all away,
I will reject everything and everyone associated with you.

I said it's all right there for you to now
I acknowledge that everything you need is readily available.

Hey I said it's all right there for you to tell...
I'm encouraging you to communicate your needs and desires to me.

I'll let you down my friend, I'll turn my back to you
I will fail you and abandon our friendship.

I never meant to leave you, never meant to leave your room
I didn't plan to distance myself from you, but it will happen anyway.

You began alone, and you've begun again, all I wanted for you
You started over and found new beginnings without me, even though I wanted the best for you.

I become alive through you,
Being with you brings me joy and fulfillment.

Can you feel this constant resurrection of needs,
Do you recognize my desire for more and my difficulty being content.

I'm sorry for those things I meant to help you, and I meant to fill you,
I apologize for my past failures to support and fulfill you.

And I'll always let you down,
I will never be able to meet your expectations or needs.

And I'll always put you out,
I will cause you pain or inconvenience.

Thought to feel it in your life
You must experience it yourself to fully understand.

Thought to take your time to grow
You need to be patient and give yourself time to mature.

I was sent to be here, left to hurt you, this time it's sad, you've gone
I was supposed to help you, but instead, I caused you pain, and now that you're gone, I regret it.

Hey I said it's all right there for you now
The solutions to your problems are within reach.

Hey I said it's all right there for you too
I acknowledge that you also have the power to make things better for yourself.

Thought to feel it in your life
You need to experience it yourself to truly understand it.

Thought to take your time to grow...
You should be patient and give yourself time to mature.
