Tell Me Who You Want Me to Be

My minds been away a while

They say I was much too quiet

But now I can’t talk enough

Feels old putting me on trial

Forcing out an awkward smile

Now I say the things they like - to hear

And I bend backwards

Even when they cross the line

But don’t say it hurts

Cause I’ll be the first cry

It’s always the same

They’re trying to change me

And I don’t know why

Oh why

So tell me who you want me to be, I mean

You keep turning me upside down Until I can't see, my feet

Playing every part but the one I really need, to be

Just to please somebody

If you don’t like me

If you don’t like me

Tell me who you want me to be

Flashbacks of the breaking point

How I slowly lost my voice

Took me too much time to know that this was going bad

Laugh at my acquired taste

Act like yours is none to waste

They don’t see it on my face at all

Cause I bend backwards

Even when they cross the line

I don’t say it hurts

Cause I’ll be the first cry

It’s always the same

They’re trying to change me

And I don’t know why

Oh why

So tell me who you want me to be, I mean

You keep turning me upside down Until I can't see, my feet

Playing every part but the one I really need, to be

Just to please somebody

If you don’t like me

If you don’t like me

Tell me who you want me to be

I dim my eyes cause you say they're too bright

Shut down my mind, If I don't then you might

Don't scream don't cry, don't let em see me shine

So tell me who you want me to be, I mean

You keep turning me upside down Until I can't see, my feet

Playing every part but the one I really need, to be

Just to please somebody

If you don’t like me

If you don’t like me

Tell me who you want me to be
