"Who Am I?" lyrics
"Who Am I?"
I cut my hair the way you say you like it
Have I got no free will?
I took the long way home to make a point about it
Now I'm late, but what a thrill!
You can't be my responsibility
What if I want someone to take care of me?
When I put it like that, it sounds so fucking bleak
And I want you, but not like this
Been trying to be everything
But I can't be your rock, and your lover, your mom
And I've tried
Now I'm not anything
Just a painting that's meant to blend in with the wall
I'm tired
If I'm your everything, who am I?
See, when you get sad I find it all consuming
So can you just not get sad?
I'll look like a fool
Feel like a failure trying to be your saviour
Dancing round the room trying to make you laugh
Been trying to be everything
But I can't be your rock, and your lover, your mom
And I've tried
Now I'm not anything
Just a painting that's meant to blend in with the wall
I'm tired
If I'm your everything, who am I?
I'll try and I'll try till it eats me alive
And I'll do what you want till I'm something I'm not
I'd jump and I'd run to the edge and beyond
And for what?
Do my best till there's none of me left
Been trying to be everything
But I can't be your rock, your lover, your mom
God! I've tried!
Now I'm not anything
Just a silhouette of the person I was
If I'm your everything, who am I?

And I feel nothing at all
Unfit but unfazed

A tow-head blond, with eyes of salt

Say it again and I'll take you with me
