Maria Mena - Takes One To Know One Lyrics
You’ve lived a haunted lifeI’ve tried to imagine how I’d feelIf I was thrown into the public eyeBefore my wounds had healedThe way you flashed us with yourScars and told us about your rulesLike we were students in your “how-to-be-dramatic†little schoolNow I can understand howAfter all that you’ve been throughYou’d lock yourself insideWaiting for us to come and rescue youBut what I can’t fathom is While imprisoned in yourselfYou wouldn’t ever take a look aroundJust blame everyone elsePulling the “look-at-me-I’m-hurt†cardGot you friends that wouldn’t dareQuestion any little tantrumNo, halfway – they would meet you thereYour lover fears your reactionsHe’s like a puppy on a leashHe doesn’t tread outside your boundariesWithout saying “pleaseâ€Now I can understand howAfter all that you’ve been throughYou’d lock yourself insideWaiting for us to come and rescue youBut what I can’t fathom is While imprisoned in yourselfYou wouldn’t ever take a look aroundJust blame everyone elseI could be scared of youI would cater to your needsYour dominating ways, my overwhelming fear of conflict feedsBut I’ve learned not to get involvedBy admitting more about myselfTakes one to know one honey, trust me take a look inside yourself
