Cut the onion Lyrics

How well do you know me, did you ever take the time to care

Did you only see what you want or did you really see me there

Cut the onion to bring out some tears

Layer on layer but it's rarely sincere

Cut the onion, play the sad role

It's not a funeral, it's your reality show

I want to be remembered but not on someone else's terms

I don't want a flattering eulogy I never even deserved

Cut the onion to bring out some tears

Layer on layer but it's rarely sincere

Cut the onion, play the sad role

It's not a funeral, it's your reality show

I want the world to think real hard before it gathers to sing my praise

Don't utter a single word you wouldn't tell me to my face

Cut the onion to bring out some tears

Layer on layer but it's rarely sincere

Cut the onion, play the sad role

It's not a funeral, it's your reality show

I'd rather be forgotten for who I am than remembered as someone else

As the flowers wither in the cold air, I'll be at peace with myself

Cut the onion to bring out some tears

Layer on layer but it's rarely sincere

Cut the onion, play the sad role

It's not a funeral, it's your reality show

Cut the onion to bring out some tears

Layer on layer but it's rarely sincere

Cut the onion, play the sad role

It's not a funeral, it's your reality show
