What′s in store Why did you lie to me I don′t know What did you want me to say There′s nothing wrong with wanting to be right I′m just trying to remember This could be the biggest lie We were faking all the while Step across the finest line Let′s just give it one more try Who′re you for What do you want from me Overflow This isn′t how it′s supposed to be There′s something wrong so try to make it right Hit the floor We′re both just lying there Overload I′m so tired of this scene There′s something wrong So try to make it right It′s not how it′s supposed to be There′s still so much left to do This could be another me This could be another you
Before you came what was your name? Did you look like me? No one′s from here, no one my dear, not even the trees. So change your name, just keep your face. We′re temporary anyway. Before you came we played this game in our masquerade.
Flash, Flash, Car Crash we′re no fixtures. Quick, now, Quick take our picture!
What was your past? When was the last time that you recall someone you knew was someone who asked nothing of you?
So lose your past. I′m sure you′ll find it′s in the way all the time. Before you′re through you′re someone who looks a lot like you.
We can′t remember the seasons We chant in the manmade snow. We can′t recall the feelings that we cannot show.
I′m just arriving in the city and there′s music on my mind lookin′ for my destination and my home is far behind Because it′s a long road ahead and you can make it in the end and I′m gonna make it with my friends And I′m tryin′ It took me sometime to see it now I′m looking through this world and it′s gonna take some time before I get back, help me girl Because you can make it if you try you gotta lay it on the line and everything will be fine if you try Sittin′ smokin′ just a thinkin′ is an easy thing to do We gotta keep on trying for the feelin′ to come through and it′s a lonely way to live you gotta take it, you gotta live if you mistake it, just try again and I′m trying, yeah! Got to keep on trying Ah, we got to keep on trying Yeah I′m trying.... etc..
I pull out of the driveway and head out on the highway and I can see them in my rearview mirror hanging out the window snappin a shot of me so I pull into the fast lane nobody′s gettin past me and I can hear the helicopters coming drivin down the street is such a pain in the ass for me
Chorus:
And God I wanna know why whoever said it was painless should try and be famous you know Im just livin life but nothings for free lets see what they say first front page of the papers some days I find that even I dont wanna be me Just tryin to be me why dont they leave me the hell alone
So Im hanging out on Melrose watchin all the girls go by then a hottie spots me sippin on tequilla so happy to be alone no need to call the paparatzi cause tehy already got me everybody′s got a cell phone camera walking down the street is such a pain in the ass for me
CHORUS
and Im just tryin to be me and Im just tryin to be me
