Dagne Gorham - Homme manqué

{Guitar riff intro}

{Verse 1}
He wants me to fulfill a role
He wants me to fulfill a role
Pull me on to the bus
Don't look back, just go

{Verse 2}
He speaks in empty threats
Manipulates in seven steps
I inhale another wasted breath
He desires innocence

{Verse 3}
He expects my desperation, as if it's an honor to hold his attention
He typecasts me as an ingenue
But I know more than he thinks I do

{Chorus}
He seeks that feeling of reverse
That glimpsе in time when it feels just fine
Hе lies, he leads, and he plays pretend
To recreate what's in his head
He is the weak one, he cannot handle my opinion
He's not getting my skin, I'm the one who's winning

{Verse 4}
There's something he misses, from an era in which he never existed
Rock candy-coated rock glory
Put in your drink and end up as his trophy

{Verse 5}
How's his male utopia holding up?
It's something I won't help him save, it's something I won't touch

{Chorus}
He seeks that feeling of reverse
That glimpse in time when it feels just fine
He lies, he leads, and he plays pretend
To recreate what's in his head
He is the weak one, he cannot handle my opinion
He's not getting my skin, I'm the one who's winning

{Instrumental bridge}

{Outro}
It's not fair, but I'm not scared
He's nothing
My words transcend and mean something
