Maria Mena "Takes One To Know One" lyrics

Takes One To Know One

You’ve lived a haunted lifeTried to imagine how I’d feelIf I was thrown into the public eyeBefore my wounds had healed

The way you flashed us with yourScars and told us about your rulesLike we were students in your “how-to-be-dramatic” little school

Now I can understand howAfter all that you’ve been throughYou’d lock yourself insideWaiting for us to come and rescue you

But what I can’t fathom isWhile imprisoned in yourselfYou wouldn’t ever take a look aroundJust blame everyone else

Pulling the “look-at-me-I’m-hurt” cardGot your friends that wouldn’t dareQuestion any little tantrumNo, halfway – they would meet you there

Your lover fears your reactionsHe’s like a puppy on a leashHe doesn’t tread outside your boundariesWithout saying “please”

Now I can understand howYou’d be scared to trust againSeeing on fame would be a magnetFor the tensions he confronts.

But what I can’t fathom isIf your friends lie to keep you calmYou wouldn’t ever ask yourselfWho they got that idea from

I could be scared of youI would cater to your needsYour dominating ways, my overwhelming fear of conflict feedsBut I’ve learned not to get involvedBy admitting more about myselfTakes one to know one honey, trust me take a look inside yourself
