You
The Au Pairs Lyrics

Here I am in your face
I'm confronting you, being direct and honest.

Tellin truths and not your old lies
I'm not here to perpetuate your deceptions and falsehoods. I'm telling you the truth.

Seems to me that you care
It appears that you have some concern or interest in what I'm saying.

And I know that you're runnin out of time
You don't have forever to keep pretending and hiding from the truth. Time's running out.

See ya can't get away
You can't escape the truth, no matter how hard you try.

I'll be here forever and again
I'm going to remain here, confronting you with the truth, until something changes.

Whisperin in your ear
I'm trying to get through to you intimately and personally.

Do believe cause you know you cannot win
You don't stand a chance against the truth. So believe me, because you know I'm right.

Spent most your life pretending not to be
You've spent a majority of your time pretending to be someone you're not.

The one you are but who you choose to see
Instead of embracing your true self, you've chosen to see and present a false version of yourself to others.

Learned to survive in your fictitious world
You've adapted and existed in a world of your own creating, where truth doesn't matter.

Does what they think of you determine your worth?
Are you using other people's opinions of you as the only measure of your value and self-worth?

If special's what you feel when you're with them
If the only time you feel special or valued is when you're around certain people,

Taken away you feel 'less than' again
Then that feeling of significance is taken away from you when you're away from them, making you feel inferior once more.

You gotta mean what you say
Make sure the words you speak are genuine and sincere.

You gotta say what you mean
Don't be deceptive or manipulative when communicating with others.

Tryin to please everyone
Don't always try to make everyone happy, even if it means sacrificing your own needs and desires.

Sacrifice your own needs
Don't neglect or ignore your own personal needs for the sake of others.

Check in the mirror my friend
Take a good look at yourself and reality before pointing fingers at others.

No lies will be told then
Once you're honest with yourself, you won't be able to lie anymore.

Pointin the finger again
Don't just blame others for problems or mistakes; take responsibility for your own actions.

You can't blame nobody but you
Ultimately, you're the only one responsible for your own life and the consequences of your choices.

There's a feeling inside
There's an emotion or sensation within yourself.

No you cannot change it right away
You can't immediately alter or suppress the feeling; it takes time.

Gotta make a try
You have to make an effort to change things for the better.

And with time it'll start to go away
Eventually, things will improve and that negative feeling will lessen.

I'll be here when you need
I'll be available for you and support you, even during tough times.

That one to sit and cry to
I'll be someone you can come to cry or be vulnerable with.

Cause I'm the you you forgot
I'll remind you of who you truly are underneath the layers of pretense and lies.

The only one you know you cannot lie to
You can't deceive or lie to me because I know the truth about you.

Bitter you'll be if you don't change your ways
If you don't make positive changes, you'll be consumed by bitterness and regret.

When you hate you you hate everyone that day
When you're feeling hate toward yourself, this negative attitude spills over into other areas of your life and impacts all those around you.

Unleash this scared child that you've grown into
Unleash the scared and frightened inner child that you've become, who needs to confront and overcome their fears.

You cannot run for you can't hide from you
You can't escape or run away from yourself, no matter how hard you try.

C-N-E-I-C-S-N-O-C (you can't blame nobody but)
The repeated letters spell out a phrase, emphasizing that ultimately you're the only one responsible for your own life and choices.

Aw that's right
The artist reinforces their message and emphasizes its truthfulness.
