Are you gonna see me when the light gets dark?
The sun goes down over gramercy park
And it's become easy to hide pieces away
Making up someone in the hope that they'll stay

'Cause I've been trying to be everything I think they want me to be
I've been doing all the things that I think they wanna see
I've been trying to fulfill them with their every need
Now they're making me a person that's not even me (give me the beat)
It's like mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm (give me the beat)
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Now they're making me a person that's not even me

Now don't get me wrong, I wasn't out to deceive
I like the attention with your eyes on me
Trouble with the truth is it's so hard to believe
Now here I stand with my heart on my sleeve

'Cause I've been trying to be everything I think they want me to be
I've been doing all the things that I think they wanna see
Said I've been trying to fulfill them with their every need
Now they're making me a person that's not even me (give me the beat)
It's like mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm (give me the beat)
Mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
Now they're making me a person that's not even me

And now you're falling for a person that's not even me
'Cause I forgot about the person I used to be
