The grass is always greener as they say
You have it like it is
But you wish it were some other way
In a moment of weakness I could ignore myself
And try to be someone else
But I'm doomed to be me, that's just the way
I wish you would just love me
Like I were something that I'm not
And for all the wrong reasons
Well I could give it all I've got
But I ain't something that I'm not
Could've fooled myself had I had no sense
They say that ignorance is bliss
But I guess I could resist
Guess I couldn't cease to exist
You know you work so hard to get it right
And someone steps in and takes it right
From your hands and you're left with nothing but
A knowledge that you were always right
I wish you would just love me
Like I were something that I'm not
And for all the wrong reasons
Well I could give it all I've got
But I ain't something that I'm not
So believe me when I tell you
I will always keep my word
You break a promise once
And your word is nothing
And some things just can't be changed
Or maybe they just shouldn't
I've got to be what I know to be
And not things that I just couldn't
I wish you would just love me
Like I were something that I'm not
And for all the wrong reasons
Well I could give it all I've got
But I ain't something that I'm not
