I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU

I WOULDN'T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU (Verse 1) YOU WALK THROUGH LIFE WITH A MASK ON YOUR FACE, PLAYIN' THE GAME, MOVIN’ WITH GRACE, BUT I SEE THE SHADOWS THAT LINGER BEHIND, THE TRUTH YOU HIDE, THE LIES YOU FIND. YOU THINK YOU’VE GOT IT ALL UNDER CONTROL, BUT WHAT'S IT WORTH WHEN YOU'VE LOST YOUR SOUL? YOU CLIMB THE LADDER, STEP ON THE REST, BUT I CAN SEE YOU’RE NOT AT YOUR BEST. (Chorus) I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU, LIVIN' A LIFE THAT AIN’T EVEN TRUE, CHASIN' DREAMS THAT FADE AWAY, I’D RATHER BE ME AT THE END OF THE DAY. (Verse 2) YOU’VE GOT THE SPOTLIGHT, YOU’VE GOT THE GLARE, BUT WHAT’S THE POINT IF THERE’S NO ONE TO CARE? YOU SMILE FOR THE CAMERAS, YOU POSE JUST RIGHT, BUT YOU’RE LONELY AS HELL IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT. YOU TRADE YOUR FRIENDS FOR FAME AND GOLD, BUT WHAT’S THE PRICE WHEN YOU’RE FEELING COLD? YOU THINK YOU’RE WINNING, BUT HERE’S THE DEAL, THE LIFE YOU’RE LIVING, IT AIN’T EVEN REAL. (Chorus) I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU, LIVIN' A LIFE THAT AIN’T EVEN TRUE, CHASIN' DREAMS THAT FADE AWAY, I’D RATHER BE ME AT THE END OF THE DAY. (Bridge) MAYBE ONE DAY YOU'LL SEE THE LIGHT, REALIZE WHAT'S WRONG, AND TURN TO WHAT'S RIGHT, BUT UNTIL THEN, I'LL STAND MY GROUND, I’D RATHER BE ME, WHEREVER I'M BOUND. (Chorus) I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU, LIVIN' A LIFE THAT AIN’T EVEN TRUE, CHASIN' DREAMS THAT FADE AWAY, I’D RATHER BE ME AT THE END OF THE DAY. (Outro) SO GO AHEAD, PLAY YOUR PART, BUT KNOW I’LL KEEP MY HEART, I WOULDN’T WANT TO BE LIKE YOU, CAUSE I’M HAPPY JUST BEING TRUE.
