Why Can't I Be You (demo) Lyrics

Do you have an opinion?
One that means something to me
Keep on running
But don't run away from me.
Let me into your world
Let me in, yeah, let me through
I'll keep my head down
I bit off more than I could chew.

A great big hole swallowed my bones
Taking all of my nine stone
'Cause I don't mean a thing, not anything
And nobody 'round here will miss me.

Why can't I be you?
You're all I wanted to be
Why can't I be you?
You're all I wanted to be
Why can't I be you?

Give me a second opinion
One that won't discourage me
And I'll get over it
That's my new philosophy.
Like a speeding bullet
Yeah, I'll come flying through the house
Keep my head down
I'll leave a bad taste in your mouth.

A great big hole swallowed me up
Taking all of my six foot
'Cause I don't mean a thing, not anything
And nobody 'round here will miss me.
Why can't I be you?
You're all I wanted to be
Why can't I be you?
You're all I wanted to be
Why can't I be you?

A big, big hole swallowed me up
Taking all of my six foot
A big, big hole swallowed my bones
Taking all of my nine stone.

Why can't I be you?
You're all I wanted to be
Why can't I be you?
You're all I wanted to be
Why can't I be you?
You're all I wanted to be
Why can't I be you?
