[00:00.00]Maria Mena - Takes One To Know One
[00:02.51]
[00:17.75]You’ve lived a haunted life
[00:19.20]I’ve tried to imagine how I’d feel
[00:21.62]If I was thrown into the public eye
[00:24.20]Before my wounds had healed
[00:26.37]The way you flashed us with your
[00:28.25]Scars and told us about your rules
[00:30.30]Like we were students
[00:31.68]in your “how-to-be-dramatic” little school
[00:34.57]
[00:38.96]Now I can understand how
[00:40.53]After all that you’ve been through
[00:43.04]You’d lock yourself inside
[00:44.77]Waiting for us to come and rescue you
[00:47.39]But what I can’t fathom is
[00:49.65]While imprisoned in yourself
[00:51.59]You wouldn’t ever take a look around
[00:54.28]Just blame everyone else
[00:56.01]
[01:17.65]Pulling the “look-at-me-I’m-hurt” card
[01:19.88]Got you friends that wouldn’t dare
[01:21.72]Question any little tantrum
[01:23.72]No, halfway – they would meet you there
[01:25.92]
[01:26.33]Your lover fears your reactions
[01:27.83]He’s like a puppy on a leash
[01:29.99]He doesn’t tread outside your boundaries
[01:33.16]Without saying “please”
[01:34.80]
[01:39.16]Now I can understand how
[01:40.70]You’d be scared to trust again
[01:42.90]Seeing on fame would be a magnet
[01:45.31]For the tensions he confronts.
[01:47.60]But what I can’t fathom is
[01:49.52]If your friends lie to keep you calm
[01:51.64]You wouldn’t ever ask yourself
[01:53.67]Who they got that idea from
[01:56.30]
[02:30.78]I could be scared of you
[02:32.15]I would cater to your needs
[02:34.54]Your dominating ways,
[02:36.47]my overwhelming fear of conflict feeds
[02:39.10]But I’ve learned not to get involved
[02:41.20]By admitting more about myself
[02:42.97]Takes one to know one honey,
[02:45.14]trust me take a look inside yourself
[02:47.75]
