Normal Like You

(album: Matty Mullins - 2014)

I can't stop thinking about all the things that I see when I'm out on the road.
They tell me all their stories about their broken homes & their doubts
and I hold it so close, it's killing me.

Call it a blessing in disguise,
but you're not the one who feels the pain behind their eyes.
I'll take the hit, I'll wear the bruise,
but all I ever wanted was to be normal like you.

You say I'm too sensitive, but that's just the way that I am, I can't change
It must be nice to know how to live without caring a bit,
but I love too much too forget, so I'll live with it.

Call it a blessing in disguise,
but you're not the one who feels the pain behind their eyes.
I'll take the hit, I'll wear the bruise,
but all I ever wanted was to be normal like you.

God can I handle this?
I'm always in over my head & now I'm just so tired.
What is the benefit of feeling everything so deeply?
I can't hide it, was I made for this?

Call it a blessing in disguise.
You're not the one who feels the pain behind their eyes.
I'll take the hit, I'll wear the bruise,
but all I ever wanted was to be normal like you.
Call it a blessing in disguise,
but you're not the one who feels the pain behind their eyes.
I'll take the hit, I'll wear the bruise,
but all I ever wanted was to be normal like you.
