[00:00.000][Intro]
[00:00.353]I woke this mornin' undecided
[00:03.183]My demons takin' over my life, yeah
[00:05.836]Sooner or later it's a family divided
[00:08.681]These patterns gettin' hard to hide, yeah
[00:11.740][Chorus]
[00:12.510]They say I should be satisfied
[00:14.607]They tell me I got the world, but that's a lie
[00:17.233]I wished the way I feel could be pacified, sometimes
[00:22.168]I wish I was somebody
[00:26.501]Anybody but myself
[00:32.622]Oh, I wish I was somebody
[00:37.384]Anybody but myself
[00:40.120]
[00:41.024][Verse]
[00:43.008]If I told you I'm 'bout to break would you look at me different?
[00:45.635]Character out of place, would I lose your attention?
[00:48.449]Let me know your intentions, cause lately I been watchin' everybody
[00:51.885]It's apparent that transparency never seen monotony
[00:54.799]Got off of tour, lookin' for closure
[00:56.431]Mixin' emotions of bein' grateful and feelin' like some of y'all gettin' over
[01:00.107]What's a puppet on stage, singin' and dancin' ablaze?
[01:02.595]But trading his worth, distorted by the money that's made
[01:05.591]A slave with a verse, I feel like Prince Rogers
[01:08.127]I feel liberation is free, I feel I should miss the Oscars
[01:10.627]Are you celebrating me as the artist or just a profit?
[01:13.647]A question I have for the ones around me that's turnin' toxic
[01:16.058]My lungs been heavy from all the smokescreen boobytraps
[01:18.746]Reminiscin' on what it was, and knowin' that this ain't that
[01:26.902]I vision a rock in a hard place
[01:28.926]Hope my daughter isn't born with a piece of my heartbreak
[01:31.434]You know stress carries on and your kids reap the mistakes that you made
[01:34.826]And I admit that I can be dismissive if I can't relate
[01:37.448]And I admit that I only commit to start playin' games
[01:40.205]And I admit that I'm bad at talkin' myself out of shame
[01:42.916]But who's to blame when the crowds stop cheerin' and they passin' dirty looks?
[01:46.594]I now understand that I'll never be understood
[01:47.353][Bridge]
[01:52.190]Isolation didn't work for me (Work for me)
[01:55.337]Socializing didn't work for me even
[01:57.940]Prayed about it, didn't work for me (Work for me)
[02:03.973]You can't cure this disease
[02:06.646]The pain too traumatic for relief
[02:09.028]Pull up the curtains, let the audience see
[02:10.724][Chorus]
[02:11.535]I wish I was somebody (Somebody else, oh, somebody else, oh)
[02:15.625]Anybody but myself (Somebody else, oh)
[02:21.745]Oh, I wish I was somebody (Somebody else, oh)
[02:26.477]Anybody but myself
