Just the Past

Tell me how do I get to know you?
You untie me as if I were a shoelace
You let out all I can hold between my buttons
But from you I get nothing
Even if I gave you a mountain on a bad day
You don't think you're worth the top of it
And how can I change that when it's in your fundament
You can't take a compliment
Take a rest with me after a long day
Foot's on the table, don't take them down, down, down
Don't take them down
Is it your parents or just the past?
Is it your parents or just the past?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
If you should reach what you aim for
Don't give yourself the blame for
What's obviously not your fault, don't laugh this away
You won't get to hear what I really have to say
What I see is not what you think I see
And what I think is not what you think I think
I know me but you don't know me as I don't know you
But
Take a rest with me after a long day
Foot's on the table, don't take them down, down, down
Don't take them down
Is it your parents or just the past?
Is it your parents or just the past?
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
