lyrics
No one who was pardoned
Ever called me by my name
No one got my heart in
I was in them all the same
If you need some explanation
You didn’t know me very well
It became incarceration
It became a living hell
But I’m the master of impressions
A chameleon of a man
I can take your best intensions
Make them putty in my hand
You think that you see me
But you only see the mask
I hope’d that you could really see me
But it was far too much to ask
You could never ever know it
And I’m sorry if you tried
I could never ever show it
If you looked me in the eyes
Cause I’m the master of impressions
A chameleon of a man
I can take your best impression
Make them putty in my hand
Yeah, I’m the master of impressions
A chameleon of a man
I can take your best impression
Make them putty in my hand
Ever called me by my name
No one got my heart in
I was in them all the same
If you need some explanation
You didn’t know me very well
It became incarceration
It became a living hell
But I’m the master of impressions
A chameleon of a man
I can take your best intensions
Make them putty in my hand
You think that you see me
But you only see the mask
I hope’d that you could really see me
But it was far too much to ask
You could never ever know it
And I’m sorry if you tried
I could never ever show it
If you looked me in the eyes
Cause I’m the master of impressions
A chameleon of a man
I can take your best impression
Make them putty in my hand
Yeah, I’m the master of impressions
A chameleon of a man
I can take your best impression
Make them putty in my hand
