Version

You can't stand me
because you don't know who you are
but I know myself.
You have failed, but I have won
everything you ever wanted.

You can't stand me
because I am the bright darkness
the hiding seek-er
the sunny night
the contradiction.

You can't stand me-
I am the doubt, the warning, the instinct.
I am the dream you have forgotten
but cannot let go.
I am all the music, everywhere.

You can't stand me
because I talk like you, walk like you-
I look like you, but I am not you.
I am the version of yourself
you didn't have the courage
to be.

And you can't stand me
because you can't stand yourself.
