Do you understand me
Can you see what's deep inside
All the problems that I face
All the demons that reside

Do you think you know me
Just by looking at my face
Can you feel the hatred
Can you feel my pain

I'm sick of living everyday a lie
It's getting harder and harder just to get by
I'm sick of living life as what I am
Let me be somebody else
Or at least let me pretend

I'm fighting for myself
I'm fighting for my family
I'm fighting for my friends
But they don't understand me

Yeah you think you know everything
But you don't have a clue
The demons that surround me
I'm fighting them for you

I'm sick of living everyday a lie
It's getting harder and harder just to get by
I'm sick of living life as what I am
Let me be somebody else
Or at least let me pretend

I'm sick of living everyday a lie
It's getting harder and harder just to get by
I'm sick of living life as what I am
Let me be somebody else
Or at least let me pretend

I want to be someone you can lean on
I want to be your wall
I want to be the one you come to
When you start to fall

But I can't hold myself up
My bones are crumbling
With every step that I take
I feel I'm stumbling

I'm sick of living everyday a lie
It's getting harder and harder just to get by
I'm sick of living life as what I am
Let me be somebody else
Or at least let me pretend I'm someone
