I Dont Want To Be Like You
written by ieatsmellysocks08:38 PM 12/10/04I wish I could be me again
Im so tired of being you
I wish I could be free again
To do the shit people my age do
I wish I could be myself
I tried to be someone I’ll never be
Then I became you
And I lost the real me
When I look into the mirror
I see your face staring back at me
I tried so hard to be someone different
Ive become everything I tried not to be
Now I forget who I am
Lost in your little game
Now ive become another you
Now people call me by your name
I feel so invisible I feel so alone
They couldn’t handle one of you
I feel like your long lost twin or clone
They really wont be able to handle two
I want to take off this mask
So everyone can see
That i don’t want to be like you
I want to be more like me
Im just a depressed teen
I feel like im wearing a costume for Halloween
Ive started doing the same shit you did
That I said I’d never do when I was a kid
I just cant stand being like you
I don’t want to do the things you do
I wanna be myself I wanna be me
Even if the real me is a sarcastic nobody
I never cared if people hated me
And then I started trying to please everyone
I started being just like you
But now I know being you isn’t any more fun
I hate my life and I hate yours
But I can stick with mine
Even if im hated and lied to
And beaten up all the time
Im sick and tired of being alone
I feel like your long lost twin or clone
But your not someone I want to be
I wanna be myself I just wanna be me |
