How To Be Me Lyrics

I fell off a ledge into a pool of my own thoughts

I'll dig a hole underneath to find the darker side

I forgot to breath

Drowning in me looking off into the distance

Can I escape this self inflicted prison

Why do I dive so deep

I know what it'll get me

These same old nagging questions about the lesser me

Oh here we go again

Let's think about every dumb thing that I have ever done

And dwell on doubt and hate that I'm created from

Here I sit surrounded on every side by people that I barely know

Man, I've never felt so alone

But I'll keep going where I know that I don't want to be

Cause that's the only way that I know how to be me

How to be me

Cause that's the only way that I know how to be me

Oh here we go again

Every time the water drains

I gasp for air and try to see beyond the waves that I create

Build a smile from the pieces found left on the ground

They may be cracked and broken, but they're the best I've ever found

The smile only last so long before we're back into the hole

That we dug beneath the pool to find the darker me

Here I sit surrounded on every side by people that I barely know

Man, I've never felt so alone

But I'll keep going where I know that I don't want to be

Cause that's the only way that I know how to be me

How to be me

Cause that's the only way that I know how to be me
