Lyrics
intro
verse one
I oh I I can't win
I won't let me
you- you say you love me
well I know it
but please don't show it
Bridge
your face,your smile,your eyes and hair
I see them almost everywhere
and then to act like I don't care oh I don't wanna be me oh no no I don't wanna be me
verse two
you - you let the sun in
you've got me running
I just don't get me
cause I don't wanna hurt you
I still desert you
if you let me
Bridge
of all the girls I never knew
instinctly knew what to do
but still I turn my back to you oh I don't wanna be me oh no no I don't wanna be me
Chorus
find me somewhere dark where I can moan
let me work this world out by my own
don't you get to close for you might see
that I don't wanna be me oh no no I don't wanna be me
verse three
heed these words i've spoken
your spell is broken
a two leaf clover
and please go live your life now
your wasting time now
the dream is over
bridge
to play the game and when it's through
to look around to see what's new it's still the same what can you do? oh I don't wanna be me oh no no I don't wanna be me oh no no I don't wanna be me
