"Somebody I'm Not" lyrics

"Somebody I'm Not"

Here's how it started
You've got a God in the closet
They say he's peeking through the cracks in the door
You've got a father and mother
Are they in love with each other?
Or are they living afraid of the Lord?

Scratch my name in your truck
Tell me have I disappointed you enough? Oh
And I'm strange and I'm stuck
Wear my pretty little heart out on my cuff, hmm

I don't wanna die in the body of somebody I'm not
I don't wanna die getting caught up with the cats and the dogs
Swallowing the party favors, kissing in the parking lot
Nervous when I talk to strangers, just thinking
I don't wanna die in the body, in the body of somebody I'm not

2012, I think I'm hiding it well
But it's eating at the depths of my soul
2015, two different versions of me
A boy in a bed and a girl in the dream

Scratch my name in your truck
Tell me have I disappointed you enough? Oh
And I'm strange and I'm stuck
Wear my pretty little heart out on my cuff, hmm
(Ohh)

I don't wanna die in the body of somebody I'm not (I don't wanna die)
I don't wanna die getting caught up with the cats and the dogs
Swallowing the party favors, kissing in the parking lot
Nervous when I talk to strangers, just thinking
I don't wanna die in the body, in the body of somebody I'm not, yeah
In the body of somebody I'm not
I don't wanna die in the body of somebody I'm not
I don't wanna die getting caught up with the cats and the dogs
Swallowing the party favors, kissing in the parking lot
Nervous when I talk to strangers, just thinking
I don't wanna die in the body, in the body of somebody I'm not
