Be Somebody
Someone Else
We are at a phase
That I thought would work
Winning the race
For what its worth
Then again I fell short
Thinking maybe it was my fault
Not showcasing the best
Not truly knowing what to express
Waiting for the right moment
Even if gestures were offered
Yet why is it all over
Nothing started nor ended
Everyday was magical
A simple message
Drove me insane
How am I to blame
You were everything I wanted
Honestly even more
That's why I feel rotten to the core
Because it was just me
I broke down my walls
Trying to break yours
Forgetting the worst
Thinking of a new birth
Trying to be a better man
Leaving it all behind
No more secrets, no more lies
I wanted to be that guy
So what else could I have done
Just to find out
You never wanted one
Simply put, I wasn't the one
Thoughts rambling through
I wasn't meant for you
Still I thought differently
Waiting, that just maybe
She would slowly realize
That I would be the right guy
But why has it come to this
You never wanted it
I tried to get closer
Yet you pushed me further
Telling them it wasn't enough
I thought, I already did much
Still I choose to blame myself
Since I thought well
Maybe she needs time
To slowly make up her mind
Why not tell me to stop
Rather than watch me try
Fall deeper inlove
Without a chance to survive
So watch me try,
Even ask you why,
WHY CAN'T I BE THAT GUY...
