Lyrics
I'm looking in the mirror
I'm examining my own reflection
I don't like what I see
I am displeased with what I perceive
But how come everybody
Questioning why everyone else seems happy
else is so happy
Observing the apparent happiness of others
I don't think that I wanna be me
Expressing a reluctance to be oneself
yeah if I could be someone else
Desire to be someone else
then I'd run away from myself
Wishing to escape from one's own identity
away from my body set me free
Yearning to be liberated from one's body
yeah sometimes I don't wanna be me
Occasional aversion to being oneself
yeah sometimes I don't wanna be me
Reiteration of not wanting to be oneself at times
yeah sometimes I don't wanna be me
Repeated expression of discomfort with self
I can't help it
Admission of inability to control feelings
I feel like if I walked in someone else's shoes
Imagining the experience of being in another person's life
the I, I'd be perfect then I know how it feels to be like you
Believing that adopting someone else's life would lead to perfection
but if you get to close for comfort
Concern about becoming too emotionally attached
worries take me over
Anxiety taking over when someone gets too close
yeah I've got the tendency, to be my own enemy
Acknowledging a tendency to self-sabotage
I'm looking in the mirror
Repetition of self-reflection
I don't like what I see
Reiteration of dissatisfaction with self-perception
But how come everybody
Questioning the apparent happiness of others
else is so happy
Observing the general contentment of others
yeah sometimes I don't wanna be me
Repetition of not wanting to be oneself at times
yeah sometimes I don't wanna be me
Repeated expression of discomfort with self
yeah sometimes I don't wanna be me
Continued discomfort with being oneself
