Untouchable
You, you, you, you, you
Untouchable
You, you, you, you, you
Untouchable
You, you, you, you, you
Untouchable
You, you, you, you, you
You're reaching out
Oh, you, you, you, you, you
You're reaching out
Oh, you, you, you, you, you
They left me too
They left me
Too, too, too, too, too
They left me too
They left me too
I reached out
Untouchable
You, you, you, you, you
I reached out
Untouchable, you
Mom calls 'round here sometimes
Got'cha number for love crimes
But you two know that you’re confined
Time for bed. Read between the lines
I was lost when I was young
Searching for a home and a mother tongue
Found it in my dad’s black lung
Too many words left unsung
We all hope that you’re alright
Shoulda treat'cha better in hindsight
I know the past tends to ignite
Passions burn deep like twilight
When you know, I know. I know
When you know I know. I know
When you know, I know. I know
When you know I know. I know
He hates love and you hate life
Disguising truth in a butterknife
He was your youth and you his wife
But now your heart's in the afterlife
When you know, I know. I know
When you know I know. I know
When you know, I know. I know
When you know I know. I know
Dad still cries 'bout you at night
Without you, the sun sheds no light
And you still miss those days despite
Your hateful family and their appetite
I chose Dad and you went white
He’s a faithful friend not a parasite
I chose Dad and lost the right
To speak to my family as a socialite
Yet my aunt sleeps with my friends
Cheating on her husband till the world ends
And her daughter tried to pretend
Her ex was never a cheating boyfriend
Wide-eyed lies overextend
Revealing a pattern that never ends
Cut the cords to ascend
I lost a friend
I lost a friend
Untouchable
You, you, you, you, you
Untouchable
You, you, you, you, you
Untouchable
You, you, you, you, you




Untouchable
You, you, you, you, you
