lyrics

Why can't you stay in just one shape?
I feel like I don't know you...
You're all the same, you're all the same,
You carefully dress the truth.
You camouflage.

Why can't you take,
A piece of me with you?
You always fade,
In the times we could use you.
If you'd just stay,
We could forgive you.
But you disintegrate,
Into pieces of the past.
You're pieces of the past.

I never knew, never knew, never knew you.
Is this permanent, is this the new you?
I try to hold you up, but you fall through.
Oh, you do.
Somethings going on.
It's time you've shown your true face.
You're so chameleon,
Some things you just can't fake.

Why can't you take,
A piece of me with you?
You always fade,
In the times we could use you.
If you'd just stay,
We could forgive you.
But you disintegrate,
Into pieces of the past.
You're pieces of the past.

Between the words you weave,
What am i to believe?
Every time we need you fade into the scenery,
And we're finally calling your bluff. (OH!)
You're cover's blown, you can't escape,
We've handled far more than we thought that we could ever take,
And we've finally had enough.
Something's going on.
Some things you just can't fake,
You're so chameleon.
You're transparency holds no weight.

Why can't you take,
A piece of me with you?
You always fade,
In the times we could use you.
If you'd just stay,
We could forgive you.
But you disintegrate,
Into pieces of the past.
You're pieces of the past,
Yeah you're so, so,
Chameleon.
You're so chameleon.
