Wie Ich

And people say stay as you are
But no, sorry, maybe that's not enough for me
Maybe I don't even like how I am
Maybe I'd actually like to be a bit more like you
Without sweating on my palms, talking to someone
Being part of a discussion without causing a stir
Speaking in complete sentences, not saying the wrong thing for once
Taking a stand, having an attitude
This will pass, but what if it doesn't?

What if everything stays the same?
If nothing ever changes?
Except the pages on my calendar
I'd like to be less like me
A bit more like you
I'd like to be less like me
A bit more like you
I'd like to be less like me
Say something and not just talk - like me
My 'for' is always actually 'against' - like me
Be more normal, less bad - like me

Like me
You're good as you are, stay true to yourself
Or I'll just tear everything down and rebuild the crap
I want to be someone - be someone
I want to go somewhere
Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the person I am
If not everyone laughs at my joke, that's okay
But it would be nice if someone other than you understood it
But no, I sit alone where the light doesn't shine
I just don't feel like being me anymore
It will pass, but what if it doesn't?
What if everything stays the same?

If nothing ever changes, except the
Weather outside my window
I'd like to be less like me
A bit more like you
I'd like to be less like me
A bit more like you
I'd like to be less like me
Say something and not just talk - like me
My 'for' is always actually 'against' - like me
Be more normal, less bad - like me
Like me, like me

Maybe you want to be like me too - like me
I think that's relatively easy - like me
Just always do the same - like me
Like me, like me, like me
And I can hardly move
Everything is still
You, on the other hand, live the exact life I want to live
Your friends, your wife, your job
I'd like to be more like you
I'd like to be less like me
A bit more like you
I'd like to be less like me
A bit more like you
I'd like to be less like me
Say something and not just talk - like me
My 'for' is always actually 'against' - like me
Be more normal, less bad - like me
Like me, like me, like me
Maybe you want to be like me too - like me
I think that's relatively easy - like me
Just always do the same - like me
I'd like to be more like you
