Who are you supposed to be now
What are you trying to prove
you're crying the blues
you're dying to lose
you're fighting to choose
you wanna live the life
of someone else
You don't wanna take a chance
with the hand that you've been dealt
in this world, Everything is unfair
I don't like what I see
when I look in the mirror
Maybe I'll just become you
steal your identity, alter reality
everything is sure to be fine

cause I don't have to ever face
what's really mine, keep on hiding
all my problems down deep inside
Oh, what a life that would be
I get to be free, but then again
who am I, you or me
One day you'll wake up and realize
your life is camouflauged into a lie
The true you is buried down in your soul
dying to get out and live life once more

I can't run forever
I can't hide whenever
I feel helpless on my own

It wasn't good enough
you couldn't live it up
And so you traded your life
and stepped into mine
You take a sip from my cup
savor every drop, as you drink
of the wine, a life so divine
Denied manipulation of your
life-long destiny, be who you wanna be
it's just a fantasy
Make the most of life you've been given
Be yourself, step up and start living

Don't want what another man's got
cause if you got what he's got
you might not still want, so what then
I'm not the man you think I am
Got problems too
I cry and bleed just like you
Well it's a new day, so take another spin
I'ts time to break away
and start all over again
I won't take it for granted
don't wanna masquerade
Stand up and be counted
won't let it slip away

I can't run forever
I can't hide whenever
I deny the man I know

If only I could see, if only I could be
If only I could find
what's locked inside of me
I'd set the record straight
I'd make my getaway
I'd reinvent myself into what God made
into what God made

Look in your mind
you buried so deeply inside
cause you didn't believe
your life was the best it could be
Oh no, there must be something to it
It wasn't all that bad when I knew it
So stop looking to the left, to the right
Consequences take you for another ride
Don't look down, look around, open your eyes, step into the light, the spirit inside
don't wanna hide
