Cover of Me

I can't compare to my dad

He sets a standard

You can't depend on me like that

I'll never love like my mom

I must have missed something long ago, when I'm alone

I know, I'm just a cover of me

I keep pretending like I know what my life should be

Well I keep running my mouth

I'm terrified of the sound of people leaving now

Some days go by, I forget the way it felt so

I treat the time that passed like another dream I had

I'm something better than this

Oh god I'd love to leave here

Oh you don't have to see me

You can't help

This only works if I forgive myself

And that's a chemical truth

The thing that keeps me here's the same

That ties the noose

And that's just part of the game

To keep position till no one's left to say my name

I'm just a cover of me

I keep pretending like I know what my life should be

Well, I keep running

I keep running I

I keep running

I keep running I

Very nice, the kids agree I'm famous

They saw me on the news

I told them get my good side

They told me not to move

Oxygen is hedonism

I'm the reason you won't visit

Told you not to listen

You said you wouldn't miss it

I'm just a cover of me

I keep pretending like I know what my life should be

Well I keep running my mouth

I'm terrified of the sound of people leaving now

Very nice, the kids agree I'm famous

They saw me on the news

I told them get my good side

They told me not to move
