LYRICS:

Kyle: I’m a wreck, I’m a loser, I’m a dropout.

I’m the thing that people don’t grow up to be.

Any other sane person would have talked it out.

But that’s one of the perks of being me.

I’m the textbook definition of a villain.

If you look right in the dictionary, there I am.

So don’t feed me pretty lies so I can fill in

All the holes where no one ever gave a damn.

I get that I’m a loser. I get that I’m a jerk.

But please don’t tell me things that aren’t true.

Hearing them from everybody else is just work

But I couldn’t stand hearing them from you.

Mask: There’s something about you

I cannot quite place

Your moral ideation brings a slight pigmentation

To my face.

There’s something about you

That isn’t quite real.

And though it isn’t rational, my heart is still attached to

How you make me feel.

I can’t ever be a rock to rely on

I can’t be another Mike or Mairi.

But if you want a shoulder to cry on

You can always use the shoulder on me.

I’m a screwup, I’m a monster, I’m delirious.

Just ask anyone who’s stared into my eyes.

And you don’t know the horrors I’ve experienced

Just for the crime of wanting to kiss guys.

I get that I’m annoying, I get that I’m ambitious.

But please don’t hurt me more than you need to.

The world may call my existence malicious.

But I couldn’t stand hearing that from you.

Kyle: There’s something about you.

I know what you mean.

Everything about you makes me wish that I had found you

‘Fore my teens.

There’s something about you

I cannot control

And although you are a blight, no one shines quite as bright

You have touched my soul.

Both: Don’t tell me I’m amazing, don’t tell me I’m a treasure

Cause the world has knocked me off that path askew

Everybody seems to put me under tons of pressure

But it all just fades away when I’m with you.

There’s something about you

That brightens my day

I know that this is rare, but I really have to share

That I feel this way

There’s something about you

That makes life worthwhile

And I’m really not sure–

Mask: This is far from pure–

Kyle: But you have allure–
