This One

If I keep telling myself

Just be who you are

Would I get the message

If I keep telling myself

Just lower the bar

Could I stop the obsession

When I wanna live someone else’s life

When I wanna be them

I keep getting help

But this is hard

I want redemption

 

~~~

 

Can I scream myself awake

If I’m dreaming

I’m choc full of mistakes

That leave me bleeding

I just want to erase

The life I’m leading

I wish I could replace

This one, yeah

 

If I’m losing myself

To fantasy

How far can I go

If I’m losing myself

Trying to be

Just like my idol

When I wanna live like a superstar

What good do I know

I keep getting help

But all I can see

I don’t wanna be me anymore

 

Why can’t I have been born like that

The only life worth looking at

 

Can I scream myself awake

If I’m dreaming

I’m choc full of mistakes

That leave me bleeding

I just want to erase

The life I’m leading

I wish I could replace

This one, yeah

 

I am desperate to exchange

Jealousy’s eating (me)

I lost all my faith

I’d be redeemed

I find I can relate

Only to demons

And I need to escape

This one, yeah
