Wanna Be Me
« on: September 13, 2003, 12:49:09 pm »
This is the first proper song I wrote, although I've only done 3! Don't laugh, its a bit bland

Wanna Be Me

No-one’s perfect
It’s not a matter of perception
Everyone knows it
And sorry but I’m no exception
If you had faith in me
Then don’t stop believing
But you asked for too much
Now I can’t help what I’m feeling

Chorus
I can’t be moulded
Into your perfect girl
I can’t change
Into who you want me to be

So appreciate me
For who I am
Let me live my own life
Coz I wanna be free
From all the pain you’ve caused me
Oh why can’t you see?
And let me live my own life
Coz I wanna be me


You saw the best in me
And yet you still wanted more
But there was no rest of me
A fact you seemed to ignore
You took it too far
And didn’t know when to stop
I took a while to realise
But now I’ve had enough

Chorus

I’m not insulted
That you’re not satisfied with me
Or that you want to change
The only way I can be

But didn’t I tell you I wanna be me?

Chorus

I feel like a shadow
Walking behind who you think I am
Just like my shadow
