[Chorus]

Trying to hard to be what I'm not

Wearing a façade, this is all I got

Maybe then you'll like me more

Maybe then I'll like me more

Trying to hard to be what I'm not

Wearing a façade, this is all I got

It's like my cure

To protect myself because I'm insecure


[Verse 1]

Blue sky as I wash my face

Fresh air, new start, that's the message aye

As if today couldn't get any better

Different outfit only for today

Feeling good, confident, nothing out of place

I bet you couldn't tell the difference

High might, teeth shining white

Walkin' with a swagger, I'm a sight for sore eyes

Who am I, who am I, who am I

Conversing with no effort, feeling energised

Extraverted, I'm inverted, social butterfly

Who am I, who am I

Cause I'm struggling inside


[Chorus]

Trying to hard to be what I'm not

Wearing a façade, this is all I got

Maybe then you'll like me more

Maybe then I'll like me more

Trying to hard to be what I'm not

Wearing a façade, this is all I got

It's like my cure

To protect myself because I'm insecure


[Verse 2]

I'm left alone again

Twilight sky, its not the same

Wonderin' if I'm insane

Falsified display

Miss the light, miss the sights

Only genuine by lying

Catch myself upon the surface

See a world upside down

A droplet falls, it breaks the tension

It dissolves, I start to drown


[Verse 3]

I'm torn apart

I can't swim past

My own fears

There's only black

There is no up

There's only down

I'm all caged up

I feel it now

The sky turns grey

It starts to rain

I'm not okay

I'm feeling strange

Lost my way

My vision fades

I stray away

I can't stand straight

I fall on the floor

Choices too poor

My life's a chore

Wanna close that door

My body's sore

From this internal war

Please I don't want no more
