I cut my hair the way you say you like it
have I got no free will?
I took the long way home to make a point about it
now I'm late but what a thrill
you can't be my responsibility
what if I want someone to take care of me?
when I put it
like that
it sounds so fucking bleak
and I want you but not like this
been trying to be everything
but I can't be your rock and your lover, your mom
and i've tried
now i'm not anything
just a painting that's meant to blend in with the wall
i'm tired
if I'm your everything who am I?
see when you get sad I find it all consuming
so can you just not get sad?
I look like a fool
feel like a failure
trying to be your saviour
dancing round the room
trying to make you laugh
been trying to be eve
rything
but I can't be your rock and your lover, your mom
and i've tried
now i'm not anything
just a painting that's meant to blend in with the wall
i'm tired
if I'm your everything who am I?
who am I?
i'll try and i'll try
til it eats me alive
and i'll do what you want
til i'll something i'm not
I'd jump and i'd run
to the edge and beyond
and for what?
do my best
til there's none of me left
been trying to be everything
but I can't be your rock and your lover, your mom
God i've tried
now i'm not anything
just a silhouette of the person I was
if I'm your everything who am I?"
