lyrics

WHO WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?

I saw my reflection and it wasn’t what I wanted to see
I saw a home video and it wasn’t what I thought of as me
Well if you’re tired of yourself
Look straight at someone else
Who would you want to be?
Who would you really want to be?
You are who you’re gonna be
I gave my confession and it dispelled all the desired mystery
I submitted my info and it wasn’t the required history
Well if you’re tired of yourself
Look straight to someone else
Who would you want to be?
Who would you really want to be?
You are who you’re gonna be
I had a dream
That I became everything
I’d ever hoped to become
Got everything I ever wanted
And lost what I had
I tore up a picture and I scattered it into the sea
The idea of perfection’s misconception; it’s false homogeny
If you’re tired of yourself
Look back upon the shelf
You can only hope to see
That being yourself is all you’ll ever know
Who would you really want to be?
You are who you’re gonna be
