DCan't hear you now
DYou've lost your touch
BmYou're not the Asame person in fGront of me
DSo cover up your sF#mkin and bones
BmWhat are you tArying so hard nGot to be

Everything that you wArote, I already Bmread
You Gplagiarized
Everything that you saAid was all rBmehearsed
I know your Glines
[Chorus]
BmThe damage is done
I saw for mDyself
If I didn't kAnow any better
I'd swear you were someone eGlse

If I didn't kAnow any better
I'd swear you were someone eGlse

N.C.
Back to me!
