"I Don't Wanna Be You" lyrics

You gave me music
You opened up my eyes, you saw me
You always knew
That I had something worth holding onto tightly
Though you never could

Ohhh

I see you, I hear you
Under the lights they all adore you
But I know who you are
You've taken something you can never give back to me
And you never knew

Ohhh

I always lived my life through your eyes
That's all I ever knew
Now I see the truth I realise
I don't wanna be you

I watch you slowly disappearing into nothing
In front of my eyes
Drinking, falling, ever so slowly dying
You keep it inside
And I wanna save you

I always lived my life through your eyes
That's all I ever knew
Now I see the truth I realise
I don't wanna be you
I will never be you

I see you in his eyes
His light is so bright
And I wanna be right
There for him

I always lived my life through your eyes
That's all I ever knew
Now I see through you I realise
I don't wanna be you
I will never be you
