Being Yourself (Acoustic Version)

Waking up alone is hard sometimes

I lie to myself when I say I'm alright

I put on a smile

To hide that i'm broken inside

How can they say only fools rush in

When taking it slow only left me alone

I'm not gunna change myself cos I know

I try to impress, but impressing is lonely

I'd give you my hand, but you'd still never hold me

I put myself out there some time would be nice

To show you that good guys might make you think twice

When being yourself just isn't enough

It breaks you inside, wishing your somebody else

I can't help but feeling all the things that you say are a lie

I'm better off alone than with somebody who

Tears me apart just to rebuild me new

I'll gather my pieces and find my way home

All that I'd give was all that you'd take

But giving to you is my biggest mistake

I'm glad that I stayed myself cos I know

I know

I try to impress, but impressing is lonely

I'd give you my hand, but you'd still never hold me

I put myself out there some time would be nice

To show you that good guys might make you think twice

When being yourself just isn't enough

It breaks you inside, wishing your somebody else

I'm just not the bad guy you wanted to chase

And one day that plan will blow up in your face
