Why Can't I Be Me

I try so hard to be just for you

Careful what I want to know and what I do

Make my second nature all you ever see

You're sure it's the only way to be



Never go too far or ever stay too late

Worry what I think about and what I say

Make this second nature all I ever show

You're sure it's the only one to know

You're sure it's the only way to go



But why can't I

Why can't I believe?

Believe

Why can't I believe?



I don't want to break it down with you

Wondering if I ever did and never who

Take my second nature all you ever need

You're sure it's the only way to feel



Always run it back before I really should

Thin-lipped sorry every time to make it good

Take this second nature, all I ever play

You're sure it's the only one to stay

You're sure it's the only way...



But why can't I

Why can't I

Why can't I

Why can't I

Why

Why

Why can't I be me?

(Simply elegant...)
