about

Starting with an oldie but a goodie, this was the only track I was really happy with from the two-parter I released in 2014.

Originally from "The Way I Truly Am (Part 1)."

lyrics

I’m a giver
I’m a taker
I’m a liar
I’m a lost soul
I’m too old for my age

I’m a screamer
I’m a crier
I’m a silent dweller
I let it all out
I’m too old to act this way

And I know its all over the moment you say goodbye
Why don’t you take me home now? I miss my bed…

To you I do what I can do
To make myself
Seem more like you
But when I’m all alone
In the dark
I see the way I truly am
And its not the way you are

I see the way I truly am
And its not the way you are

I put on a face for everyone I know
And its so difficult
When no one knows you at all
But I’ve been doing it for so long that I know I’ll never stop
Even if I tried
I have to lie

And I know its all over the moment you say goodbye
Why don’t you take me home now? I miss my bed…

To you I do what I can do
To make myself
Seem more like you
But when I’m all alone
In the dark
I see the way I truly am
And its not the way you are

I see the way I truly am
And its not the way you are

I would say I miss myself
But I never knew me
Never knew me
I would guess the real me is so bad
So bad that I am better off pretending

To you I do what I can do
To make myself
Seem more like you
But when I’m all alone
In the dark
I see the way I truly am
And its not the way you are

I see the way I truly am
And its not the way you are

I see the way I truly am
And its not the way you are
