Intro:
              (x2)

Verse 1:
                  
I would love to be better
                  
I would love to be free
                  
I would love to be perfect
     
when you look at me

                    
But instead I'm still cryin'
                    
yes instead I'm still lyin'
                    
sad to say I'm still tryin'

not to be me

                  
When I see all the weakness
                  
that I turned into sickness
                   
I still think I can slide
     
just fine on the ice

                   
It's not easy to be honest
                  
sometimes I'm just astonished
                       
how hard it can be to be true

Chorus:
        
Why do I lie?
                 
Is it just to get by
               
If I give up my lines
       
will I die?

               
If fortunes are favored
            
then I am in labor
                 
and I'm tryin' so hard
         
to leave lyin' behind



Verse 2:
                  
I don't want to be hazy
                      
I don't think that I'm crazy
                 
but I've had some moments
      
where I am not sure

               
and if you can forgive me
              
for just being human
               
then I will try harder
   
to keep my words pure

                 
I could be on the border
                
It could be a disorder
              
but honestly I think
     
that I can come clean

             
and all of my stories
             
might even be boring
             
If I can tell you
  
what they all mean
