The Way We Are - Lene Marlin

I watch you growing sometimes I see myself   in you 
It can be scary but kinda funny too 
I hear you talking 
A lot of similarities 
Your choice of words 
And all the fantasises 

Just the way we are 
I guess you've seen it now 
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird 
Falling down 
From a mountain of frights 
What's there to hold on to? 

The way you makes all smile and the despair when you just 
Won't go to sleep 
You could have me walking a mile to make you smile still it's not 
Really a weep 
I know you fooled me 
A million times 
I just can't help it 
Don't know why 

Just the way we are 
I guess you've seen it now 
A mirror of ourselves sure makes us weird 
Falling down from a mountain of frights 
What's there to hold on to? 

I know you hate it but they really have to do 
What they do 
You're crying out your wishes I understand 
Yet they don't have a clue.
