Don't Want To Live Inside Myself

Bee Gees · Other Songs - Bee Gees

I am the searcher of my fortunes

I've got my right hand on the wheel

We've got to dig the buried treasures

I know, exactly how I feel



Don't want to live inside myself

I'm much better off alone

But then you must believe

In the falling rain



Don't wanna live inside myself

Don't wanna live inside myself

Don't wanna live inside myself



I went walking through a graveyard

Where the darkness is my friend

I heard all about the beginning

I wanna see just where it ends



Don't want to live inside myself

I'm much better off alone

But then you must believe

In the falling rain



Don't wanna live inside myself

Don't wanna live inside myself

Don't wanna live inside myself



I have fed the jaded tiger

And every tiger knows my name

But just as long, as long as I can see my face

I can tell myself my name



Don't want to live inside myself

I'm much better off alone

But then you must believe

In the falling rain



Don't wanna live inside myself

Don't wanna live inside myself

Don't wanna live inside myself



Don't wanna live inside myself

Don't wanna live inside myself

Don't wanna live inside myself



Don't wanna live inside myself

Don't wanna live inside myself

Don't wanna live inside myself

Don't Want To Live Inside Myself

Don't Want To Live Inside Myself stands as a poignant song in the Bee Gees' expansive discography, showcasing the group's signature emotional depth and vocal harmony. Released during a period of significant artistic evolution, the track reflects the band's ability to blend introspective songwriting with accessible pop sensibilities. The recording captures the brothers at a time when they were refining their sound, moving away from earlier folk-rock influences toward a more polished, emotive style that would define their later success. While not a chart-topping single in the same vein as their disco era hits, the song remains a cherished piece for fans who appreciate the group's nuanced approach to melody and lyrical themes. It serves as a reminder of the Bee Gees' versatility and their enduring capacity to craft songs that resonate with personal vulnerability and universal feeling.
