Why can't I just be myself

Trying to understand

Do you know that special feeling

the one that sets your heart ablaze

I walk toward the light but succumb to

darkness Getting lost in a haze

am I the only one who’s losing

Am I the only one who cares

Am I the one who is confusing

Or am I the one who’s losing who’s losing

Should I live a life of wondering

If you feel the same way too

Uneasy is the feeling with or without you

Cause you’ve been waiting your whole lifetime

What have I got to do with you

Am I the one who’s choosing

Am I the one who’s always losing I’m losing you yeah

Sumer winter fall and spring

Reminds me of everything

Cause I’ve been waiting my whole lifetime

Why does time never treat me right

Am I the one who’s the sore loser

That I’m alone despite the fact

Should I reach out to be muse then

Or should I put myself on the shelf

When time mocks us of ourselves

I want to figure out the meaning

Maybe there’s none and that’s the point

Am I the one who’s always loosing

Am I the one who always falls

Should I be the one who’s always choosing

Why can’t I just be myself
