Hypocrates Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You’re the lonely
One and only body in the world
Who can make me
Who can break me down into a young girl
You say that love is not that easy
And that’s the lesson that you teach me
So hypocritical, overly cynical
I’m sick and tired of all your preaching
[Chorus]
Who are you to tell me, tell me
Who to, to be, to be?
[Verse 2]
You’re my last bone of contention
That could break at any mention
You’re the last wall that will stand tall
Till the end of the world
I know you only want to own me
And that’s the kind of love you show me
You tell me one thing and do another
Keep all your secrets undercover
[Chorus]
Who are you to tell me, tell me
Who to, to be, to be?
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, you let, you let go
Yeah, you let, you let go
Yeah, you let, you let go
Of me
[Bridge]
Yeah you played the martyr for so long
That you can’t do anything wrong
[Chorus]
Who are you to tell me, tell me
Who to, to be, to be?
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, you let, you let go
Yeah, you let, you let go
Yeah, you let, you let go
Of me
[Chorus]
Who are you to tell me, tell me
Who to, to be, to be?
