Gone

I long to be the girl you're wanting me to be To make you happy I do anything So I always took it when you pointed the blame Like every problem you had ended with my name But I like me better when I am myself I try so hard to be someone else It feels so good but it sounds so wrong My life is better now that you are gone Where in your little world do I fit in? The things I wanted never made your list But I never said a word, just played it safe And held on for dear life hoping you would change And I like me better when I am myself I try so hard to be someone else It feels so good but it sounds so wrong My life is better now that you are gone And it's a mistake, it took a heart break To show me who I am You had your reasons and I had my own Something about you never felt like home I was afraid that I'd be all alone My skies are brighter now that you've moved on And I like me better when I am myself I try so hard to be someone else It feels so good but it sounds so wrong My life is better now that you are gone I'm finally free now that I can say My life better since you went away.
