I Tried To Be You

(album: Private View - 2022)

I wore your clothes to make me feel, make me feel better
I wore your clothes out so I could feel like a man
I wore your clothes, hid who I am
Hide what I can, so I felt like a man

I tried to be you, but being you's not easy
I wore myself out trying to be you
I tried to be you, but being you's not easy
I wore myself out trying to be you

So I tried on your clothes
When there really wasn't time
Like the void scared myself away
I tried, I tried, I tried, I failed
Actor with a script
Absorbing line becomes
By one method or another
Immersed himself, left behind

I tried to be you, but being you's not easy
I wore myself out trying to be you
I tried to be you, but being you's not easy
I wore myself out trying to be you

Behind a curtain a self hid
I tried to be you, but being you won't do
I wore your clothes out, hid who I am
I wore your clothes to make me feel like a man

I tried to be you, but being you's not easy
I wore myself out trying to be you
I tried to be you, but being you's not easy
I wore myself out trying to be you
