Turning Into You
The Offspring · Days Go By [2012]
Are heavy on my mind
The pictures are broken, the front door is open
The scars are left behind
Tables turn you once they burning
Leaving me undone
A vision shaking till I break I
Swear to god more words can you just hear me
Just really hear me
I've been drowning in the sea
Of tryna to pleasing you
It's all I ever been, it's all I ever know
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
, is hurting, the drugs aren't working
The wall come crushing down
A never attraction, my insurrection
It's crawling back somehow
Tables turn these words they burn I
Never should have come
A vision shaking till I break I
Swear to god more words can you just hear me
Just really hear me
I've been drowning in the sea
Of tryna to pleasing you
It's all I ever been, it's all I ever know
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
Turning into you
I'm not how I used to be,
I'm changing cause of you
Screaming just to breathe
It's all I can do
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
Turning into you
Any more, find a way, hey, hey
Any more, find a way, hey, hey
It's all that I can see, it's all that I can do
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
I've been drowning in the sea
Of tryna to pleasing you
It's all I ever been, it's all I ever know
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
Turning into you
I'm not how I used to be,
I'm changing cause of you
Screaming just to breathe
It's all I can do
I try to be me, but I'm turning into you
Turning into you.
