Someone Else

Am I getting on your nerves?

You won't look me in the face

Self-awareness ain't my strong suit

I'm always so ashamed

Is it how I talk or how I dress?

Or how I act when I get stressed?

Pay those flaws no mind

Maybe we'll be just fine

How am I supposed to be myself

When all you see is someone else

Cut me open, gut me clean

'Til you find a better version of me

A version of me that you'd rather see

Explain to me please

The error of my ways

But all you ever do is say

"It's fine, I won't complain"

I don't know if it's on purpose

But you make me feel so worthless

When our fingers intertwine

Do you wish they weren't mine?

How am I supposed to be myself

When all you see is someone else

Cut me open, gut me clean

'Til you find a better version of me

A version of me that you'd rather see

'Cause all I'm trying to do is show you

That I'm trying my best to push through

But no matter what I change

Everything just stays the same

'Cause all I'm trying to do is show you

That I'm trying my best to push through

Everything just stays the same

'Cause all I'm trying to do is show you

Everything just stays the same

'Cause all I'm trying to do is show you (Cut me open, gut me clean)

But no matter what I change (Cut me open, gut me clean)

Everything just stays the same

Pay my flaws no mind

Maybe we'll be just fine

'Cause when our fingers intertwine

Do you wish they weren't mine?
