Already got the life

by kate   Jul 27, 2005


I’m not like you.
You may want me to be,
I try.
I fail.
I can’t be like you want me to,
I’m not you.

Living through me,
Watching me,
Criticizing me,
You’ll never know me.
Do you even want to?
Do you even care?
No, I’m just your little clone

I’m so far away,
You’ll never pull me back,
I’m not you,
You may be sorry,
I don’t care,
You try to pull me back,
It’s too late,
I’m just not you.

You try to make me perfect
I try,
I fail
I’m not like them,
I’m forever a disappointment

I‘m not their clone
I tried so hard,
But I’m not them
You say you care
I never believe you
You just try to change me
‘Cause ‘m just your little clone

You see me,
You judge me
You make me into you
What you wanted to be
Your dreams are now mine
But I never listen
I don’t believe
Screw what you say,
It’s just a load of shit anyway
I’m just not you.

I’m not who you wanted me to be,
I’ve not got the life you wanted me to lead
I’ve not lived the unfulfilled dreams you once had
This is my dream,
This is who I am
I’m not you.
I’ve already got the life.
