Winning Streak

It was never easy being close to you
But we could always strike a truce
Using all your friends as means to an end
A selfish rewrite of every weekend
Always an avid fan of obscurity
Except when asked about your personality

I hope you’re different now
Nobody’d put up with anything else anyhow
Illuminate the world in selfish light
A control freak on a winning streak

You’ve been playing the part of someone else from the start
You couldn’t really call that acting art
You can paint yourself from memory
Right onto the movie screen
You’re the biggest man you could ever be
Though nobody else seems to agree

I hope you’re different now
Nobody’d put up with anything else anyhow
Illuminate the world in selfish light
A control freak on a winning streak

I hope you’re different now
Nobody’d put up with anything else anyhow
Illuminate the world in selfish light
A control freak on a winning streak
