lyrics

Just when I had it figured out,
You go and change all the rules in your favor.
I thought I had them written down,
But I drank too much and threw away the paper.
But I know I can make it on my own,
With simple words and chord progressions.
When I show you all I have to say,
It's the only way to keep myself true.

I won't fail at being me, to be you.

I've played enough of these empty bars,
And I know I can tell when I'm not wanted.
But just like your mother always said,
"If you've got it, you should flaunt it."
And I've seen some good music in between,
All the drunks that live in the past.
And I try to keep my lyrics light,
Cuz I know that you can handle the truth.

That I won't fail at being me to be you.

How satisfying can it be to play the songs,
That someone else, wrote for someone else?
I'm not afraid of failing on my own.
I'm just waiting for my break.
Still waiting.
Still waiting.

I won't even shave my beard,
Even if you said it's what I'm supposed to do.

Cuz I won't fail at being me to be you.
