I haven't felt like myself for awhile now
I kinda hate myself some days
And I?ve tried to make you love me
But if I?m honest would you stay
And I have half a mind to tell you
All the things I shouldn't say
Can you even tell I?m trying
To be anything but fake
But I guess
I'm just trying to be the someone you like
I'm just trying to be a someone who tries
And I try
But I keep walking out of your mind
I?m just trying to be the someone you like
I had to run right back to Ireland
I went and broke down by the lake
Cause I?d slowly been eroded by the ways
That I drained my art for eyes
Verified
I?m just trying to be the someone you like
I'm just trying to be a someone who tries
And I try
But I keep falling out of your mind
I?m just trying to be the someone you like
On show
Still hide
Half truth, still lies
I?m just trying to be the someone you like
On show
Still hide
Half truth, still lies
I?m just trying to be the someone you like
On show
Still hide
Half truth, still lies
I?m just trying to be the someone you like
