Hypocrite Lyrics & Meanings: Tonight / Bleeding from the holes in my face / But I don't wanna give it away / You did it for the family name / Crash collide in to space / You / Your favorite color red / I guess that I'm the hypocrite / You're not responsible / I'm responsible / / Who's to blame / Tell me who's to blame / Tell me who / / [Chorus] / I won't ever do that again / I've been all over the place / I watched the strawberry fields / Dry up and wither away / And if you ask me to stay / You know that's where I will be / Won't ever do that again / Don't wanna do that again / / You / You call me baby blue / For all the evil schemes I pull / We sit and watch the waves break / I made a lot of mistakes / Crash collide in to space / / Who's to blame / Tell me who's to blame / Tell me who / / [Chorus] / I won't ever do that again / I've been all over the place / I watched the strawberry fields / Dry up and wither away / And if you ask me to stay / You know that's where I will be / Won't ever do that again /

What I'm Becoming Lyrics & Meanings: [Verse 1] / Slowly drift across the floor, can't escape from my mind / Yet I feel like moving on, but I’m stuck taking my time / A window, a sparrow, a spare room, a shadow / Tied to the place where I told you / / [Chorus] / I'm so sorry, honey, for what I'm becoming / Everything you wanted seems so far from me / Never meant to hurt you, no, never meant to make you cry / I’m so sorry, honey, for what I'm becoming / / [Verse 2] / Caught me walkin' through the walls, still there's nothing I find / Took the picture from the frame, am I wasting my time? / A stranger, the basement, a table, the pavement / Tied to the place where I left you / / [Chorus] / I'm so sorry, honey, for what I'm becoming / Everything you wanted seems so far from me / Never meant to hurt you, no, never meant to make you cry / I'm so sorry, honey, for what I'm becoming / / [Bridge] / Never meant to hurt you, no / Never meant to make you cry / Never meant to hurt you, no / Never meant to hurt you
