Have you ever tried being me?
Don't judge me till you have
All I've wanted is to be free
Yet spent life feeling sad
Pretending to be so cheerful
That life is simply delightful
Pretending to
Pretending to
{Yet another fallen idol}
Have you ever tried being me?
Feeling like I am mad
Don't know another way to be
Wishing to still be glad
Glad about life, that I'm here
Yet I'm overcome with fear
Glad about life
Glad about life
{Always I'm left with salty tears}
Have you ever tried being me?
Don't know if I can cope
Why is it no one ever sees?
Slowly starting to choke
All alone now, no one is left
Thinking of taking my last breath
All alone now
All alone now
{Is this supposed to be a test?}
