Lyrics
Did I get in your way, am I still setting the pace
Feeling unsure if I'm hindering your progress or still leading the way
As we dance and we sway, we trip all over the place
Our dance is erratic, causing us to stumble and falter
I feel so clumsy sometimes
Admitting occasional clumsiness or ineptitude
You tell me over again, yet I will still let you down
Despite your warnings, I persist in disappointing you
But now I'm wide-eyed and lost, and I've stretched so far beyond the person that I thought I was
Having undergone significant personal growth, I no longer recognize my former self
I get confused sometimes
Confusion is a recurring emotion for me
My old ways, your cold gaze
Highlighting the clash between my past actions and your disapproving gaze
I wish I could be somebody else for you, somebody else
Expressing a desire to transform into someone more pleasing to you
But instead I'm myself, it's no use
Recognizing the futility of trying to be someone else
Now watch as I melt, I melt, I melt as you refrain from me
Observing the emotional impact as I dissolve when you distance yourself
I wear that guilt on my face, your eyes cut deeper than blades
Bearing guilt visibly, your disapproving eyes cutting deeply
But I stood there unchanged, it's so strange to see you walk away
Remarking on the unusual experience of watching you leave while I remain unchanged
I took the hint this time
Learning from previous experiences and understanding your signals
My old ways, your cold gaze
Reiterating the struggle between my past actions and your disapproving gaze
I wish I could be somebody else for you, somebody else
Expressing a wish to become a different person for your sake
But instead I'm myself, it's no use
Acknowledging the inevitability of being true to myself
Now watch as I melt, I melt, I melt as you refrain from me
Visualizing the emotional dissolution as you distance yourself again
I stepped out in the rain
Stepping into challenging situations represented by the rain
I tried to change all my ways
Attempting to alter my behavior and habits
It messed up my brain and now I try to refrain from wanting to be somebody else
Experiencing mental turmoil due to the attempted change, resisting the urge to be someone else
I wish I could be somebody else for you, somebody else
Reiterating the desire to transform for you
But instead I'm myself, it's no use
Acknowledging the impossibility of escaping my true self
Now watch as I melt, I melt
Visualizing emotional dissolution as distance is maintained
I wish I could be somebody else for you, somebody else
Expressing a recurring wish to be different for your sake
But instead I'm myself, it's no use
Accepting the reality of being true to myself despite the desire for change
Now watch as I melt, I melt, I melt as you refrain from me
Observing the emotional impact as I dissolve when you distance yourself (repeated refrain)
