Intro

Verse 1

Where did we go?

When was the moment that we broke in two?

I think I know

In fact I am sure I can blame it on you

 I remember the first big surprise

 The day you came home with your infrared eyes

I looked inside them, but all I could see

 Were tiny reflections of me

Chorus

 But it’s not me it’s you, what you’re turning into

 Is some kind of something that I never knew

 You used to be OK and I liked you that way

 But I don’t think that I like you better

 No I don’t think that I like you better

Verse 2

You started out small

Some gills and some wings and a few extra thumbs

Now you’re thirteen feet tall

Even when you’re asleep your machinery hums

 And I’m tired of the evenings I spend

Making small talk with your new robot friends

 And their stupid insistence on scanning my iris

 When they know damn well who I am

Chorus

 And you look like the victim of a surgical crime

 A little Darth Vader, a little Optimus Prime

 You used to be OK and I liked you that way

 But I don’t think that I like you better

 No I don’t think that I like you better

So that’s how it goes

Snap your mandibles once to say you understand

  Now hold me close

Wait, now that’s too close, you’re crushing my hand

 I can tell by that shrieking alarm

 That your weapons systems are active and armed

Do me a favor and power them down

Just so we don’t have a scene

Chorus

 And I wish it was different, but we’re just not the same

 At least we got someone we know we can blame

 You used to be OK and I liked you that way

 But I don’t think that I like you better

 No I don’t think that I like you better
